Reversibility of Frailty After Bridge-to-Transplant Ventricular Assist Device Implantation or Heart Transplantation
BACKGROUND We recently reported that frailty is independently predictive of increased mortality in patients with advanced heart failure referred for heart transplantation (HTx). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of frailty on short-term outcomes after bridge-to-transplant ventricular assist device (BTT-VAD) implantation and/or HTx and to determine if frailty is reversible after the...
متن کاملLung rejection after transplantation.
With the introduction of Cyclosporine as an immunosuppressive agent, combined heart and lung transplantation (HLTx) became an effective treatment for severe pulmonary vascular disease [1] and has been extended successfully to treat end-stage lung disease [2] and cystic fibrosis [3, 4]. Single lung transplantation offers a treatment for cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis [5]. It was initially beli...
متن کاملRejection after Lung Transplantation?
How does the body recognize the donor lung as different? Your body’s natural immune cells are able to recognize small, unique proteins called “antigens” that are present on the surface of all cells or infectious particles. These immune cells, called the T cells and the B cells, can recognize the antigens as “self” if they belong to you or “non-self” if they do not belong to you (such as those i...
متن کاملLung transplantation after endoscopic lung volume reduction.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) has become an established treatment option in selected patients with end-stage lung emphysema. ELVR, however, does not always prevent disease progression, and patients may inevitably be considered for lung transplantation. OBJECTIVES Currently, limited data exist regarding the impact of preceding ELVR on lung transplantation outcomes. METHO...
متن کاملActivin Biology After Lung Transplantation
BACKGROUND Activins A and B, members of the TGF-β superfamily, are produced as part of the physiological response to tissue damage and the resulting proinflammatory response. Given that lung allograft reperfusion results in an inflammatory response, it is likely that the activins and their binding protein follistatin will form part of the regulatory response. There is a need to document the res...
