Objective To summarize the preservation measures of the donor's heart and lung, and the postoperative immunotherapy, as well as the clinical experience of discrimination and management for graft rejection.Methods The clinical data of 2 cases of heart-lung transplantation in our department were retrospectively analyzed. Two different protective liquids were used for donor's lung lavage of 2 cases: Perfadx solution (1000 mL containing tris 0.3 mL and ilomedin 25 μg); Euro Collins solution (1000 mL containing tris 0.3 mL and PGE1 100 μg). UW solution was used for donor's heart lavage. Surgical procedure for heart-lung transplantation was classic technique in situ. The schedule of immunosuppression was induced by Basiliximab, and combined with cyclosporine+ mycophemolate mofeil+corcal hommone after operation. recipient's blood count, organ's functions, the sizes of every cavity of heart, IVSPW and LVPW were observed during early post-operation. The recipients were subjected to chest CT scan, fiberoptic bronchoscope and tissue pathological study when necessary to find the signs of rejection promptly. When the rejection occurred in the recipient, cortical hormone's impulse therapy was given and the dose of immunosuppression was adjusted in time.Results Two patients discharged in 80 days and 141 days after operation. The patients were followed up for 54 months and 50 months respectively, and their life qualities were very well. Acute rejections occurred on the 10th and 26th day in one case, and in another case, acute rejections occurred on the 29th and 87th day after operation. All were conversed by cortical hormone's impulse therapy and adjusting the dose of immunosuppressants. When acute rejection occurred, the blood count had significant change, and IVSPW and LVPW were increases. They were returned the normal range after corresponding therapy.Conclusion Perfidx solution and Euro-Collin solution may play good protective roles for donor's lungs. UW solution may play good a protective role for donor's heart. To discriminate the clinical graft rejection and infection in time and administrate correct management will have large benefits for the patients' rehabilitation.
