Journal ArticleDOI
Obliterative bronchiolitis after lung and heart-lung transplantation: An analysis of risk factors and management
Ko Bando,Irvin L. Paradis,Shari L. Similo,Hiroaki Konishi,Kanshi Komatsu,Thomas G. Zullo,Samuel A. Yousem,John M. Close,Adriana Zeevi,Rene J. Duquesnoy,Jan D. Manzetti,Robert J. Keenan,John M. Armitage,Robert L. Hardesty,Bartley P. Griffith +14 more
TL;DR: Recipients with obliterative bronchiolitis detected in the preclinical stage were significantly more likely to be in remission than recipients who had clinical disease at the time of diagnosis and results indicate that acute rejection is the most significant risk factor for development of obliteration and that obliteration responds to treatment with augmented immunosuppression when it is detected early by surveillance transbronchial biopsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of time-dependent risks for infection, rejection, and death after pulmonary transplantation.
Ko Bando,Irvin L. Paradis,Kanshi Komatsu,Hiroaki Konishi,Masato Matsushima,Robert J. Keenan,Robert L. Hardesty,John M. Armitage,Bartley P. Griffith +8 more
TL;DR: The hazard for death, infection, and rejection after pulmonary transplantation appears biphasic, and prevention of cytomegalovirus disease should improve survival by decreasing the prevalence of infection and rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indications for and results of single, bilateral, and heart-lung transplantation for pulmonary hypertension.
Ko Bando,John M. Armitage,Irvin L. Paradis,Robert J. Keenan,Robert L. Hardesty,Hiroaki Konishi,Kanshi Komatsu,Keith L. Stein,Ajit N. Shah,Henry T. Bahnson,Bartley P. Griffith +10 more
TL;DR: Bilateral lung transplantation may be a more satisfactory option for patients with pulmonary hypertension with simple congenital heart disease, absent coronary arterial disease, and preserved left ventricular function.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective randomized trial of FK506 versus cyclosporine after human pulmonary transplantation.
Bartley P. Griffith,Ko Bando,Robert L. Hardesty,John M. Armitage,Robert J. Keenan,Si M. Pham,Irvin L. Paradis,Samuel A. Yousem,Kanshi Komatsu,Hiroaki Konishi,John J. Fung,Thomas E. Starzl +11 more
TL;DR: Although the presence of bacterial, fungal, and viral infections was similar in the two groups, ACR occurred less frequently in the FK- treated group as compared with the CsA-treated group in the early postoperative period (< 90 days).
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of pulmonary hypertension on outcome after single-lung transplantation
Ko Bando,Robert J. Keenan,Irvin L. Paradis,Hiroaki Konishi,Kanshi Komatsu,Robert L. Hardesty,Bartley P. Griffith +6 more
TL;DR: Despite a shortage of donor organs, single-lung transplantation may be suboptimal therapy in patients with PH, and further study comparing single versus bilateral lung transplantation for PH is necessary.
