Lung - Transplantation

This randomized controlled pilot trial evaluated the feasibility and safety of integrating hemodiafiltration (HDF) into a six-hour ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) circuit to ameliorate metabolic derangements in marginal donor...

This retrospective cohort study from the Netherlands investigated the impact of surgical timing on the outcomes of bilateral lung transplantation and evaluated the utility of deferring surgery to daytime hours....

This study analyzed pregnancy outcomes in female lung transplant (LuT) recipients, focusing on modifiable factors that could improve outcomes. Using data from the Transplant Pregnancy Registry International (TPRI), the study...

This retrospective single-center study evaluates the outcomes of isolated single lung transplants (SLT) (one usable, one declined lung) compared to split SLTs (both lungs are used for different recipients). Approximately...

This group presents a standardized, step-by-step technique for robotic-assisted lung transplantation. The authors describe port placement strategies, dissection techniques, and sequential anastomosis to optimize surgical precision while minimizing trauma. The...

This study investigates lung transplant outcomes across age groups, highlighting key survival trends and risk factors. Among the 33,644 recipients, older patients (aged 65–79 years) more frequently underwent single lung...

The article evaluates the outcomes of a paradigm shift in lung transplantation. Traditionally, the lung with the lowest perfusion was implanted first to minimize intraoperative hemodynamic instability. However, this single-center...
