Abstract Purpose Non‐tuberculous mycobacteria ( NTM ) are important pathogens in lung transplant recipients. This study describes the spectrum of respiratory tract infections and examines association with complications. Methods Data from 208 recipients transplanted November 1990 to 2005 were analyzed. Follow‐up data available 2010. Lung infection was defined by bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum, or blood cultures appropriate clinical setting. All identified tabulated. The cohort patients +)...
Restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS) is an aggressive variant of CLAD characterized by progressive restrictive ventilatory decline and persistent pleuro-parenchymal changes that can be seen on chest CT. We identified four lung transplant recipients with a defect due to lymphocyte-predominant exudative pleural effusions, but no abnormalities typical RAS. Using molecular analysis, we also found increased levels previously described immune markers RAS, including NFkB, 20S proteasome, lipocalin,...
Although graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, it rare after solid organ transplantation (SOT) or blood transfusion. We present case SOT‐derived and/or transfusion‐associated (TA‐GVHD) in 66‐year‐old man with interstitial lung who underwent bilateral (LT) from 12‐year‐old female donor and required three units packed red cells intraoperatively. He presented signs symptoms consistent GVHD, bone marrow biopsy revealed an XX...
Background. Persistent orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a lesser-known complication of lung transplantation (LTx). In this retrospective case series, we describe the clinical manifestations, complications, and treatment persistent OH in 13 LTx recipients. Methods. We identified recipients who underwent between March 1, 2018, 31, 2020, with symptomatic retrospectively queried records for information. Results. Thirteen patients were included analysis, 9 (69%) had underlying pulmonary fibrosis,...
Few reports have described successful lung transplantation from a donor with history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and outcomes beyond 3 to 6 months remain unknown. After weighing the urgency life-saving benefits against risk viral transmission, we successfully performed bilateral transplant confirmed infection mild symptoms 2 before donation. At 1 year after transplant, there is no evidence donor-derived allograft function excellent stable, FVC 3.66 L (77% predicted) FEV<sub>1</sub>...
In the general population, prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 reduces risk of severe COVID-19; however, studies in lung transplant recipients (LTRs) are lacking. We sought to describe clinical course COVID-19 recurrence and compare outcomes between first second episodes LTRs.We conducted a retrospective, single-center cohort study LTRs January 1, 2022, September 30, during Omicron wave. compared episode that patients' own who developed period.During period, we identified 24 another 75 COVID-19....
Introduction: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, progressive lung disease that causes abnormal cystic growth in the lungs and lymphatic system.LAM most often occurs as feature of an inherited condition known tuberous sclerosis, thus sporadic LAM rarely suspected previously healthy females without significant medical history.We detail case generally-well 32-year-old female with recurrent pneumothorax diagnosed LAM.Case Description: This patient was referred to our advanced center for...
