Lung Transplantation for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and Kartagener Syndrome: A Multicenter Study. Transpl Int 2023; 36:10819.

Abstract
Primary ciliary dyskinesia, with or without situs abnormalities, is a rare lung disease that can lead to an irreversible lung damage that may progress to respiratory failure. Lung transplant can be considered in end-stage disease. This study describes the outcomes of the largest lung transplant population for PCD and for PCD with situs abnormalities, also identified as Kartagener's syndrome. Retrospectively collected data of 36 patients who underwent lung transplantation for PCD from 1995 to 2020 with or without SA as part of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons Lung Transplantation Working Group on rare diseases. Primary outcomes of interest included survival and freedom from chronic lung allograft dysfunction. Secondary outcomes included primary graft dysfunction within 72 h and the rate of rejection ≥A2 within the first year. Among PCD recipients with and without SA, the mean overall and CLAD-free survival were 5.9 and 5.2 years with no significant differences between groups in terms of time to CLAD (HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.27-3.14, p = 0.894) or mortality (HR: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.14-1.43, p = 0.178). Postoperative rates of PGD were comparable between groups; rejection grades ≥A2 on first biopsy or within the first year was more common in patients with SA. This study provides a valuable insight on international practices of lung transplantation in patients with PCD. Lung transplantation is an acceptable treatment option in this population.

Furukawa M, Chan EG, Sanchez PG. Bridge to second double lung transplant with an extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal system in situs inversus patient. J Card Surg 2022; 37:2191-2193. [PMID: 35411562 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal life support use in redo-lung transplant is limited due to poor outcomes. Extracorporeal circulation with a single duo-lumen cannula provides the advantage of more comfortable mobilization particularly in patients in which we expect a longer bridge to transplant. CASE A 29-year-old female with Kartagener syndrome and complete situs inversus underwent a double lung transplant for end stage lung disease. Within one year after transplant the patient had primarily hypercapnic respiratory failure with radiographic signs of chronic lung allograft dysfunction. To optimize her nutritional status and muscle strength before re-do lung transplantation, we decided to bridge her with an extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal system due to anatomical difficulty. She was listed and underwent an uneventful re-do double lung transplant with cardiopulmonary support. CONCLUSIONS We report a first case with the use of extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal system as a bridge to re-do lung transplant in complete situs inversus patient.
