Abstract:
The present case report was designed to summarize the clinical experience of operative technique. lung preservation, lung perfusion, and perioperative management. Of 7 cases who underwent allogenic single lung transplantation (LT), 3 were idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, 2 were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 1 was silicosis, emphysema, and bulla, and I was tuberculosis in both sides and presented with destroyed lung in one side. All donors were already brain death. Donor lungs were well preserved utilizing Euro-Colins liquid or low-potassium dextran solution. Donors and recipients were matched in blood type. Of 7 cases selected,5 received single right lung transplantation, and 2 received single left LT. End-to-end anastomosis was performed for pulmonary branches and pulmonary arteries. while atrium-to-atrium anastomosis was performed for pulmonary vein. Antibiotics and immunosuppressants were routinely used prior to and subsequent to LT. Following LT, heart and lung function, usage of antibiotics, and adjustment of immunosuppressant were monitored. Stomal complications regarding bronchus and pulmonary artery and vein did not appear in any patient. Five cases survived for about 2 months, one for approximately 1 year, and one for nearly 2 years. Four cases died of multi-organ failure caused by pulmonary infection, and one of severe pulmonary hemorrhage caused by aspergillus sydowi infection. Rejection occurred in 6 cases. One case sufiered from rejection three times. Selection of indication, selection and preservafton of donor lung, LT operation and pre-and post-operative management of LT have acquired satisfactory achievements. High mortality occurred in patients with preoperative poor cardiac and pulmonary functions and postoperative severe infections accompany with application of immunosuppressant.
