1.	Reperfusion Injury 09/01/1997 - "BACKGROUND: Antioxidant treatment with lazeroids has proven beneficial for the amelioration of reperfusion injury in experimental lung transplantation" 09/01/1991 - "The above results suggest that EC-SOD plays an important role in cyto-protection against reperfusion injury after lung transplantation." 06/01/2002 - "However, Group 3 had improved pulmonary artery pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, arterial oxygenation, and wet-to-dry weight ratio measurements compared with Group 2. CONCLUSIONS: High-flow reperfusion results in severe reperfusion injury after lung transplantation" 01/01/2004 - "Better understanding of the mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury, improvement in the technique of lung preservation, and the recent introduction of a new preservation solution specifically developed for the lungs have helped to reduce the incidence of primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation" 12/01/2002 - "CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that the mode of mechanical ventilation used in the early phase of reperfusion of the transplanted lung can influence ischemia-reperfusion injury, and a protective ventilatory strategy on the basis of minimizing pulmonary mechanical stress can lead to improved lung function after lung transplantation."

Lung Diseases (Lung Disease) 10/01/2005 - "BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation is effective for end-stage pulmonary disease, but its successful application is still limited by organ shortage and sub-optimal preservation techniques" 08/01/2003 - "Lung transplantation usually provides prolongation and marked improvement in quality of life in patients who would otherwise die from end-stage pulmonary disease" 03/01/1991 - "These survival figures represent a marked improvement in the prognosis of patients with end-stage lung disease who are candidates for lung transplantation since such subjects should have an expected survival of less than two years without this intervention" 12/01/1993 - "Combined heart and lung transplantation has been shown to provide successful therapy for patients with end-stage heart and lung disease" 06/01/2007 - "BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation has become an established and effective treatment for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...

4.	Infection 04/01/2005 - "1) To appreciate the interobserver variation in the interpretation of histologic findings and (2) to assess the efficacy of transbronchial biopsy (TBB) for acute rejection diagnosis and associated diseases, particularly infection, we performed a retrospective study including 53 consecutive patients who underwent at least one clinically indicated TBB during the first 6 months after lung transplantation" 01/01/1991 - "Early diagnosis and effective treatment of pulmonary CMV infection after lung transplantation." 01/01/2002 - "Although fraught with potential serious complications, including infection, rejection, and death, lung transplantation may offer overall improvement in mortality rates and quality of life." 10/01/2006 - "Fiberoptic bronchoscopy remains the gold standard to establish the presence or absence of acute pulmonary allograft rejection or infection after lung transplantation (LT)" 10/01/1998 - "Future improvement in intermediate and long-term survival after lung transplantation will largely depend on prevention and long-term control of infection and subclinical rejection."
