Abstract
Delayed chest closure (DCC) is a useful technique in cases with oversized lung grafts, pulmonary edema, and hemodynamic instability. Anatomically oversized lung grafts are potentially problematic in pediatric living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT), but rarely in an adult LDLLT. We experienced a case of anatomically oversized grafts in the adult LDLLT requiring DCC, although the grafts provided only 57.2% of the recipient's predicted forced vital capacity. Through 3-dimensional computed tomography volumetry, the volume of the donor's right lower lobe was illustrated as 108% of that of the recipient's right hemithorax, the volume of the donor left lower lobe was 143% of that of the recipient's left hemithorax. Her chest was closed without volume reduction 5 days after transplantation. Our experience illustrates the importance of anatomical size-matching even in an adult LDLLT and the usefulness of DCC as a perioperative management modality.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
