02/01/2022 - "Since the initial report of long-term survival after lung transplantation (LT) in 1983, there has been remarkable progress in the field and LT is now the gold-standard therapy for patients with end-stage lung disease. "
11/13/2020 - "Lung transplantation remains the best treatment option for end-stage lung disease; however, is limited by a shortage of donor grafts. "
11/01/2012 - "Lung transplantation has come to be viewed as the best treatment option for various end-stage lung diseases. "
06/01/2012 - "Lung transplantation (LTx) remains the best option for selected patients with end-stage lung disease. "

01/01/2014 - "Despite its complexity, lung transplantation in the cystic fibrosis population is safe, with good outcomes if the clinician is aware of all the potential pathogens and remains vigilant by means of surveillance and proactive treatment. "
12/01/2011 - "The question addressed was whether lung transplantation remained a beneficial treatment for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients infected or colonized with Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) prior to lung transplantation (LTx). "
12/01/1997 - "End-stage cystic fibrosis: improved diabetes control 2 years after successful isolated pancreatic cell and double-lung transplantation."
05/01/1992 - "These data support the therapeutic efficacy of lung transplantation for patients with cystic fibrosis."
01/01/2022 - "Feasibility and efficacy of combined pancreatic islet-lung transplantation in cystic fibrosis-related diabetes-PIM study: A multicenter phase 1-2 trial."

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. High-flow reperfusion results in severe reperfusion injury after lung transplantation. "
12/01/2002 - "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."
11/01/2019 - "Mesenchymal stromal cell therapy during ex vivo lung perfusion ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion injury in lung transplantation."
03/01/2009 - "Improved early survival after lung transplantation is due to less severe reperfusion injury, as well as improvements in survival with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation."

03/01/2023 - "As a definitive treatment, successful lung transplantation led to a reversal of hypoxic respiratory failure and the patient's symptoms markedly improved, reinforcing data in the literature to consider lung transplantation in this patient population."
01/01/2017 - "A significant, but only temporary improvement in functional status was observed, and the patient died of gradually progressing heart and respiratory failure while awaiting for lung transplantation."
09/01/1996 - "ECMO is beneficial for adult patients with respiratory failure, especially those with primary graft failure after lung transplantation."
01/01/2021 - "The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 68.6%, and this improved over time, especially for lung transplantation and respiratory failure patients. "
04/01/2003 - "Lung transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage respiratory failure, however immunological mismatch poses a major threat to graft function. "

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."
01/01/2010 - "Strict monitoring of infections by the Gram staining and culture of respiratory specimens is considered to be effective in preventing lower respiratory infection in lung transplantation."
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."
05/22/2021 - "She was referred to our academic transplant center for bilateral lung transplantation after the remaining infection had been cleared. "
