TL;DR: In this paper, a 10-center prospective cohort study was performed to identify donor, recipient, and perioperative risk factors for primary graft dysfunction (PGD) in lung transplant patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to lung transplantation
Yoshiya Toyoda,Yoshiya Toyoda,Jay K. Bhama,Norihisa Shigemura,Diana Zaldonis,Joseph M. Pilewski,Maria Crespo,Christian Bermudez +7 more
TL;DR: Whether ECMO as a bridge to lung transplantation is an acceptable option to support those in respiratory failure until donor lungs become available in the lung allocation score era is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voriconazole Prophylaxis in Lung Transplant Recipients
Shahid Husain,David L. Paterson,Sean M. Studer,Joseph M. Pilewski,Maria Crespo,Diana Zaldonis,Kathleen A. Shutt,Diana L. Pakstis,A. Zeevi,Bruce E. Johnson,Eun J. Kwak,Kenneth R. McCurry +11 more
TL;DR: Voriconazole prophylaxis can be used in preventing IA in lung transplant recipients and regular monitoring of liver enzymes and serum concentrations of calcineurin inhibitors are required to avoid hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspergillus galactomannan antigen in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis in lung transplant recipients.
Shahid Husain,David L. Paterson,Sean M. Studer,Maria Crespo,Joseph M. Pilewski,Michelle Durkin,Joseph Wheat,Bruce E. Johnson,Lisa McLaughlin,Christopher Bentsen,Kenneth R. McCurry,Nina Singh,Nina Singh +12 more
TL;DR: A Platelia EIA index cut-off ≥1.0 in the BAL fluid in a lung transplant recipient with a compatible clinical illness may be considered as suggestive of IA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to lung transplant: midterm outcomes.
Christian Bermudez,Rodolfo V. Rocha,Diana Zaldonis,Jay K. Bhama,Maria Crespo,Norihisa Shigemura,Joseph M. Pilewski,Penny L. Sappington,Arthur J. Boujoukos,Yoshiya Toyoda +9 more
TL;DR: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to lung transplantation is associated with higher perioperative mortality but acceptable mid-term survival in carefully selected patients.
