Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the complications and prognostic factors of lung transplantation performed in a single center.Methods A rettospective analysis of demographic and outcome data of lung transplantation was performed.Survival analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier estimation.Results Between January 2003 and April 2011,42 lung transplant procedures were performed.Overall survival rate at 1,3,and 5 years were 89%,59% and 38%,respectively.1,3,and 5 years survival in patients with COPD was 83%,66% and 45%,respectively,which were better than other primary end stage lung diseases ( 78%,17% and 17%,respectively,P =0.013).Postoperative complications included pulmonary bacterium infection in 8 patients (20%),fungal infection in 12 (30%),and airway complications in4 (9.5%).35% of patients had at least 1 episode of acute rejections within the first year,and 22.5% of patients had BOS.2 patients underwent single lung retransplantation.Conclusion In this single center study,patients with COPD may have a good long-term survival.The most common postoperative complications were pulmonary infection and airway complication.
