As the recipient list for patients requiring lung transplantation continues to increase, cadaveric donor lung availability has remained static. Our experience with utilizing lobes from living related donors for bilateral pulmonary transplantation in 20 patients has yielded a 75% survival at 1 year follow-up. Morbidity and mortality have been predominately due to infection. Rejection episodes have been mild and unilateral and have responded to augmented corticosteroids. Pulmonary function tests in the recipients tend to improve steadily during the first year postoperatively, and the patients have excellent functional capacity. There have been no significant complications in the donors. On the basis of our clinical experience, we have found that bilateral lobar transplantation utilizing living related donors has resulted in organ availability that can be lifesaving in critically ill patients and can provide a good alternative in certain noncritical, deteriorating patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
