- W164074915 abstract "Lung transplantation nowadays has become a therapeutic modality in the treatment of patients with a variety of end-stage lung diseases. Between July 1991 and December 1992, twelve patients received an isolated lung transplant (eight single lungs and four double lungs) at the University Hospitals of Leuven. The indication for transplantation was emphysema in five patients, pulmonary fibrosis in three, cystic fibrosis in three and primary pulmonary hypertension in one. There were four early, in-hospital deaths (30%): two from sepsis and multi-organ failure, one from anoxia following a bronchial dehiscence and another patient exsanguinated following stent insertion for a partial bronchial dehiscence. Three more patients have died during follow-up: two from chronic respiratory failure secondary to the development of obliterative bronchiolitis (one at 8 months and one at 17 months), and one from a late bronchovascular fistula 4 months following transplantation. The overall actuarial one and two year-survival was 50.0% and 41.6% respectively. All patients discharged from hospital were oxygen free with an improved lung function and exercise capacity. We conclude that lung transplantation is a viable therapeutic option for selected patients with end-stage, irreversible lung disease. In our experience, the bronchial anastomosis remains an important keystone in the early success. Lung transplantation provides a good quality of life in patients free from infection and rejection. Nevertheless, chronic rejection resulting in obliterative bronchiolitis is a major problem in long-term survivors." @default.
