Objective To evaluate the operative technique, perioperative management and outcomes of bilateral lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension. Methods There were 2 cases of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension subject to bilateral sequential lung transplantation with ECMO support (16, 17 years old, respectively). The pulmonary artery pressure was 10/70 and 148/72 mm Hg respectively. The heart function was NYHA Ⅳ, the operative procedure was right lung first, then left lung, and the cold ischemia time was 230 min/430 min and 185 min/300 min respectively. The ECMO support time was 550 min and 450 min respectively. The blood loss during the operation was 3000 and 1200 ml, respectively. Resuits The ECMO was withdrawn 16 and 13 h postoperation respectively. There was unstable hemadynamics and acute left heart failure on the 3rd and 4th day after the operation. The patients were treated with ventilate support and tracheotomy on 3rd and 6th day respectively. Additionally, the patients were given cardiotonic, dieresis and the ventilation was withdrawn on 33rd and 12th day after the operation respectively. They were discharged from the hospital on 93rd and 32nd day after the operation. The heart function both reached NYHA I, two cases were followed up for 25 and 10 months respectively.Both of them had an excellent quality life. Conclusion Bilateral lung transplantation is effective for end-stage idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension even with slight right ventricular dysfunction with satisfactory short-term outcome. A limited operative time, an ECMO support for heart and lung during the peri-operative period and a perfect management for the left ventricular dysfunction after surgery are key roles for the success. Closed follow-up and surveillance are needed for long-term outcomes.

Objective To estimate the indications, operative technique, perioperative treatment, postoperative complications and the outcome of lung transplantation (LTx) for end-stage pulmonary diseases. Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with end-stage lung diseases receiving LTx in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The main indications for LTx were as follows:idiopatic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF, 47/100), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, 33/100),silicosis (5/100 ), bronchiectasis ( 5/100 ), Eisenmenger syndrome (4/100 ), secondary lung tuberculosis (2/100), idiopathic pulmonary hypertension ( 2/100 ), lung lymphangioleiomyomatosis ( 1/100), primary alveolar cell carcicoma (1/100). There were 72 patients receiving single LTx and 28 patients receiving bilateral LTx. Sixty-one patients received lTx under circulation support, including 5 cases of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) support and 56 cases of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. All the patients were followed up when they discharged from our hospital. The issues including postoperative complications and prognosis were observed. Results The perioperative survival rate was 82. 0 % (82/100). There were 18 deaths in early stage (30 days) after LTx: 10 due to pulmonary infection, 6 due to primary graft dysfunction (PGD), 1 due to acute rejection (AR) and 1 due to pulmonary infarction. The common complications included lung infection (11 cases), PGD (10 cases), AR (3 cases), tracheostenosis (10 cases), stoma fistula (3 cases),hemorrhage (3 cases), pulmonary embolism (3 cases), pulmonary artery stenosis (one case) and thrombus in the deep veins of lower limb (one case). During long-term follow-up period, 15 patients developed obliterative bronchiolitis, and one patient suffered from lung cancer in his contralateral native lung. The 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year survival rate after LTx was 73.3 %, 61.6 %, 53.5 % and 40. 7 % respectively. Conclusion LTx is an effective therapy for various end-stage pulmonary diseases. Perioperative mortality is especially high in patients undergoing LTx. Consummate perioperative management is the key to increase survival rate.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the security and effectiveness of raffinose-low potassium dextran solution (RLPDs) for donor lung preservation.MethodsFrom Sep.2002 to Dec.2011,131patients underwent lung transplantation in our institution,including 81cases of single lung transplantation and 50 cases of bilateral lung transplantation.There were 95 males and 36 females.A total of 129 donors were used for organ harvest.Two donors denoted their lungs to four patients receiving single lung transplantation. All the donors were flushed, perfused antegradely and retrogradely,and preserved with hypothermal RLPDs.The repeated reperfusion was necessary when the cold ischemic time was fairly long and the function of donor was poor.During operation,the blood gas analysis,mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and breathing mechanics were monitored.Postoperatively,all the recipients received re-examination of cardiac ultrasonography,pulmonary function,blood gas analysis and chest imaging.ResultsAll lung transplantations were performed successfully,with a mean cold ischemic time of (193±21) min (range,65-630 min).There was a significant relationship between postoperative pneumonedema and donor lung cold ischernic time (P<0.05),which was also observed between postoperative pneumonedema and primary graft dysfunction (P<0.01). The blood gas analysis and oxygenation index were significantly improved postoperatively,with the mPAP and parameters of breathing mechanics being descended to a normal level.There were 24 early deaths in the first month post-transplant,with a mortality of 18.3% (24/131),including 11cases of sepsis,7 cases of primary graft dysfunction,3 cases of heart failure,1case of bronchial stomal leak,1case of acute rejection,and 1case of pulmonary infarction.The pulmonary function was improved significantly 3 months postoperatively.Conclusion RLPDs is efficient in the preservation of donor lung,with the ability to alleviate ischemic reperfusion injury and improve pulmonary function.

Objective To analyze the diagnosis and treatment of airway stenosis in a consecutive series of bronchial anastomosis after lung transplantation in our center.Methods We performed a retrospective study on 100 cases of lung transplants in our center from September 2002 to December 2010.Seventy-two cases were subjected to single lung transplants (SLT), and twenty-eight to bilateral sequential single lung transplantation (BSSLT). There were totally 128 bronchial anastomoses.All recipients received long-term follow-up to monitor the lung function.Lung CT and fibrobronchoscopic examinations were done when necessary. Results Twenty-five cases with 37 bronchial anatomoses were died.A total of 12 airway stenosis occurred in 10 cases (12/128,9.4 %).Four cases underwent telescopic anastomosis and 6 cases underwent end-to-end anastamosis.Mean diagnosis time was 60.1 35.6 days post-operation (ranging from 15-120 days,median 59 days).There were 8 cases of unilateral airway stenosis (3 on the left,and 5 on the right) and 2 cases of bilateral airway stenosis.The number of simple airway stenosis was 3,that of exophytie granulation tissue was 8,and that of bronchus intermedius stenosis was 1.Culture of bacteria by fibrobronchoscopy with protected specimen brush revealed:3 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa,2 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae,2 strains of Aspergillus,1 strain of Escherichia Coli. 10 cases were treated with fiberoptic bronchoscopic balloon dilation:5 cases with high-frequency electrotome,4 cases with stent placement,and 1 case with argon plasma coagulation (APC).Seven cases were cured or improved and 3 cases died.Conclusion Airway stenosis after lung transplantation remains a major problem.The fiberoptic bronchoscopic procedure is the gold standard to diagnose. The preferred treatment is fiberoptic bronchoscopic balloon under expansion,and other approaches include high-frequency electrotome,APC and stem placement,etc.
