[PMID: 38030425 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2023.10.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Lung transplantation is the only therapy for patients with end-stage lung disease. In advanced lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF), life expectancy increases, and it is important to recognize extrapulmonary comorbidities. Cardiovascular involvement, including pulmonary hypertension, right-heart failure, and myocardial dysfunction, are manifest in the late stages of CF disease. Besides right-heart failure, left-heart dysfunction seems to be underestimated. Therefore, an optimal anesthesia and surgical management risk evaluation in this high-risk patient population is mandatory, especially concerning the perioperative use of mechanical circulatory support. The use of an index case of an older patient with the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis demonstrates the importance of early risk stratification and strategy planning in a multidisciplinary team approach to guarantee successful lung transplantation.

Abstract
Lung transplantation has a high risk of haemodynamic complications in a highly vulnerable patient population. The effects on the cardiovascular system of the various underlying end-stage lung diseases also contribute to this risk. Following a literature review and based on our own experience, this review article summarises the current trends and their evidence for intraoperative circulatory support in lung transplantation. Identifiable and partly modifiable risk factors are mentioned and corresponding strategies for treatment are discussed. The approach of first identifying risk factors and then developing an adjusted strategy is presented as the ERSAS (early risk stratification and strategy) concept. Typical haemodynamic complications discussed here include right ventricular failure, diastolic dysfunction caused by left ventricular deconditioning, and reperfusion injury to the transplanted lung. Pre- and intra-operatively detectable risk factors for the occurrence of haemodynamic complications are rare, and the therapeutic strategies applied differ considerably between centres. However, all the mentioned risk factors and treatment strategies can be integrated into clinical treatment algorithms and can influence patient outcome in terms of both mortality and morbidity.

The role of intraoperative pulmonary arterial catheterization data in determining the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in lung transplantation. TURKISH JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY 2021; 29:480-486. [PMID: 35096445 PMCID: PMC8762920 DOI: 10.5606/tgkdc.dergisi.2021.20485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 12/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Background
This study aims to investigate predictive factors of identification of the need of patients for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support during lung transplantation.
Methods
A total of 63 patients (49 males, 14 females, mean age: 44.9±14.4 years; range, 14 to 64 years) who underwent lung transplantation in our institution between December 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics and perioperative clinical data of patients were recorded. After induction and pulmonary artery catheterization, cardiac output, mean pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, cardiac index, pulmonary vascular resistance, systemic vascular resistance, and right atrial pressure were measured using the thermodilution technique.
Results
Thirty-three of the patients received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support during surgery. The right atrial pressure (p<0.001), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (p<0.002), mean pulmonary artery pressure (p<0.001), and pulmonary vascular resistance (p<0.001) were statistically significantly higher in the patients who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support intraoperatively. The systemic vascular resistance (p<0.032) was statistically significantly lower in the patients who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support intraoperatively. A mean pulmonary artery pressure of >39 mmHg (p<0.02) and a right atrial pressure of >12 mmHg (p<0.047) were independent risk factors for ECMO support intraoperatively during lung transplantation.
Conclusion
Predicting the need of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support is of utmost importance in timing the need for mechanical support, protecting the new graft from high mechanical ventilator pressures, and adequately maintaining hemodynamic stability.

Abstract
Lung transplantation surgeries are performed without extracorporeal life support (ECLS) by using an off-pump technique; however, in cases of hypoxemia or hemodynamic instability, intraoperative ECLS may be required. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has traditionally been the standard practice for ECLS but has been associated with an increased risk of bleeding in the perioperative period, increased transfusion requirements, prolonged postoperative intubation, and possibly primary graft dysfunction. More recently, because of the flexibility of using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in bridging to transplantation and during postoperative recovery, its use has increased. CPB and ECMO each has advantages and disadvantages; however, because comparisons of CPB and ECMO have been limited to small retrospective observational and single-institution studies, more research is required to determine the superiority of one modality. In this review, we critically examine the pros and cons of performing lung transplantation surgery off-pump or by using the ECLS modalities of ECMO and CPB support during lung transplantation surgery.

Hanging donor lungs give good short-, mid- and long-term results in lung transplantation. Clin Transplant 2019; 34:e13758. [PMID: 31758578 DOI: 10.1111/ctr.13758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2019] [Revised: 10/27/2019] [Accepted: 11/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hanging donors are considered as marginal donors and frequently unsuitable for lung transplantation. However, there is no evidence of higher lung transplantation (LTx) morbidity-mortality with lungs providing by hanging donor. METHODS Between January 2010 and July 2015, we performed a retrospective study at Foch hospital. We aimed to assess whether hanging donor grafts are suitable for lung transplantation. RESULTS A total of 299 LTx were performed. Subjects were allocated to a hanging group (HG) (n = 20) and a control group (CG) (n = 279). Donor and recipient characteristics did not differ. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) at 72 hours was comparable in both groups (P = .75). The median duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation (1 [range, 0-84] vs 1 [range, 0-410] day, P = .35), the hospital length of stay (31 days [20-84] vs 32 days [12-435], P = .36) did not differ between the two groups. No statistically significant difference was found in 1-year and 5-year survival between the HG (83% and 78%) and the CG (86% and 75%), P = .85. CONCLUSION We believe that hanging donors should be considered as conventional donors with particular caution in the final evaluation of the graft and in perioperative management.

Intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for lung transplantation in cystic fibrosis patients: Predictors and impact on outcome. J Cyst Fibros 2019; 19:659-665. [PMID: 31676344 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2019.10.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2019] [Revised: 09/19/2019] [Accepted: 10/15/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Predictors and outcomes of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during lung transplantation (LUTX) for cystic fibrosis (CF) are unknown. METHODS We retrospectively collected the clinical data at enlistment of the CF patients who underwent double LUTX from January 2013 to December 2018 at an Italian tertiary referral center. We compared blood transfusions, incidence of primary graft dysfunction (PGD), duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), hospital LOS and survival of ECMO and non-ECMO patients. Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, and log-rank tests were used. RESULTS Twenty-eight (40%) of the 70 included patients needed intraoperative central veno-arterial ECMO with postoperative veno-venous prolongation in 6 subjects. Lower right ventricle ejection fraction (p = 0.013, OR 0.92(0.86-0.98)), higher oxygen requirement (p = 0.026, OR 1.39(1.01-1.90)), lower body surface area (p = 0.044, OR 0.05(0.00-1.03)), and CF-related diabetes (p = 0.044, OR 2.81(1.03-7.66)) were associated with intraoperative ECMO. Compared to non-ECMO patients, ECMO patients needed almost fivefold intraoperative transfusion (2227 mL vs. 570 mL, p<0.001) and had PGD grade > 0 at 72 h more frequently (16/57% vs. 12/28%, p = 0.017, OR 3.33(1.22-9.09)). Mechanical ventilation, ICU LOS and hospital LOS were significantly longer in ECMO patients. Survival at follow-up (651(326-1277) days) of ECMO and non-ECMO patients was 78% vs. 83%, respectively (OR 0.73 (0.21-2.46), p = 0.616, log-rank test p = 0.498). CONCLUSION Pre-operative risk assessment and clinical planning should be done according to the predictors above. While undeniably useful as a life-saving procedure, ECMO during LUTX for CF is associated with worsened short-term outcomes. ECMO should be implemented weighing its risk and benefits.
