Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lung transplantation (LTx) remains the only therapeutic strategy for patients with incurable lung diseases. However, its use has been severely limited by the narrow donor pool and potential concerns of inferior quality of donor lungs, which are more susceptible to external influence than other transplant organs. Multiple insults, including various causes of death and a series of perimortem events, may act together on donor lungs and eventually culminate in primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after transplantation as well as other poor short-term outcomes. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on the predisposing factors contributing to injuries to the donor lungs, specifically focusing on the pathogenesis of these injuries and their impact on post-transplant outcomes. Additionally, various maneuvers to mitigate donor lung injuries have been proposed. EXPERT OPINION The selection criteria for eligible donors vary and may be poor discriminators of lung injury. Not all transplanted lungs are in ideal condition. With the rapidly increasing waiting list for LTx, the trend of using marginal donors has become more apparent, underscoring the need to gain a deeper understanding of donor lung injuries and discover more donor resources.

Meticulous closure of collateral vessels in the perihilar mediastinal pleura to control intraoperative bleeding during lung transplantation for pulmonary hypertension. J Thorac Dis 2021; 13:5658-5669. [PMID: 34795916 PMCID: PMC8575835 DOI: 10.21037/jtd-21-1119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Background Massive blood transfusion compensating hemorrhage during lung transplantation (LT) results in primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and worse outcomes after LT. Collateral vessels in the perihilar mediastinal pleura could be the source of hemorrhage during LT in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of closure with hemoclips of the vessels in the perihilar mediastinal pleura on the risk of intraoperative hemorrhage and outcomes after LT in patients with PH. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 80 patients who underwent LT, including 13 patients with primary PH, 29 patients with secondary PH, and 38 patients with non-PH. Results The median number of hemoclips was significantly higher in the primary PH group than in the non-PH group (P=0.0045) or secondary PH group (P=0.0060). The intraoperative blood loss, transfusion volume, maximum PGD grade, and the 30-day and 90-day mortality rates in the primary PH group were equivalent to those in the other two groups. Conclusions Meticulous closure of collateral vessels in the perihilar mediastinal pleura during LT in patients with primary PH allowed intraoperative hemorrhage to be controlled and might be associated with acceptable mortality rate in these patients similar to that of LT in patients with other diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Lung transplantation (LTx) is increasingly used as ultimate treatment modality in end-stage interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). This review aims to give an overview of the latest evolutions in this field. RECENT FINDINGS In the last two years, important new findings regarding LTx outcomes in specific ILD entities have been reported. More data are available on optimization of pre-LTx management of ILD patients especially with regard to pretransplant antifibrotic treatment. SUMMARY LTx is the only treatment option with curative intent for ILDs and is increasingly used for this indication. Several studies have now reported adequate outcomes in different ILD entities, although outcome is shown to be affected by underlying telomeropathies. As new studies could not replicate inferior survival with single compared with double LTx, both options remain acceptable. ILD specialists can beneficially impact on post-LTx outcome by optimizing pre-LTx management: corticosteroids should be avoided, antifibrotics should be initiated whenever possible and BMI and nutritional status optimized, rehabilitation and depression-screening strategies should be implemented in all LTx candidates, as these interventions may all improve postlung transplant survival.

The prognostic nutritional index is correlated negatively with the lung allocation score and predicts survival after both cadaveric and living-donor lobar lung transplantation. Surg Today 2021; 51:1610-1618. [PMID: 33582840 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-021-02244-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), calculated based on the serum albumin levels and the total lymphocyte count, has been identified as a predictor of clinical outcomes in various fields of surgery. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the PNI and the lung allocation score (LAS) as well as the impact of the PNI on the outcomes of both cadaveric lung transplantation (CLT) and living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT). METHODS We reviewed retrospective data for 127 recipients of lung transplantation (LT), including 71 recipients of CLT and 56 recipients of LDLLT. RESULTS The PNI was correlated significantly and negatively with the LAS (r = - 0.40, P = 0.0000037). Multivariate analysis revealed that age (P = 0.00093), BMI (P = 0.00087), and PNI (P = 0.0046) were independent prognostic factors of a worse outcome after LT. In a subgroup analysis, survival after both CLT (P = 0.015) and LDLLT (P = 0.041) was significantly worse in the low PNI group than in the high PNI group. CONCLUSION Preoperative nutritional evaluations using the PNI can assist with the assessment of disease severity in LT recipients and may predict survival after both CLT and LDLLT.

Abstract
Background Infection is the most common cause of mortality within the first year after lung transplantation (LTx). The management of perioperative antibiotic therapy is a major issue, but little is known about worldwide practices. Methods We sent by email a survey dealing with 5 daily clinical vignettes concerning perioperative antibiotic therapy to 180 LTx centers around the world. The invitation and a weekly reminder were sent to lung transplant specialists for a single consensus answer per center during a 3-month period. Results We received a total of 99 responses from 24 countries, mostly from Western Europe (n = 46) and the USA (n = 34). Systematic screening for bronchial recipient colonization before LTx was mostly performed with sputum samples (72%), regardless of the underlying lung disease. In recipients without colonization, antibiotics with activity against gram-negative bacteria resistant strains (piperacillin / tazobactam, cefepime, ceftazidime, carbapenems) were reported in 72% of the centers, and antibiotics with activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (mainly vancomycin) were reported in 38% of the centers. For these recipients, the duration of antibiotics reported was 7 days (33%) or less (26%) or stopped when cultures of donor and recipients were reported negatives (12%). In recipients with previous colonization, antibiotics were adapted to the susceptibility of the most resistant strain and given for at least 14 days (67%). Conclusion Practices vary widely around the world, but resistant bacterial strains are mostly targeted even if no colonization occurs. The antibiotic duration reported was longer for colonized recipients.

Abstract
Publications of note from 2018 are reviewed for the cardiothoracic transplant anesthesiologist. Strategies to expand the availability of donor organs were highlighted, including improved donor management, accumulating experience with increased-risk donors, ex vivo perfusion techniques, and donation after cardiac death. A number of reports examined posttransplant outcomes, including outcomes other than mortality, with new data-driven risk models. Use of extracorporeal support in cardiothoracic transplantation was a prominent theme. Major changes in adult heart allocation criteria were implemented, aiming to improve objectivity and transparency in the listing process. Frailty and prehabilitation emerged as targets of comprehensive perioperative risk mitigation programs.
