Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of mortality in lung transplant recipients, with early cases associated with particularly poor outcomes. Identified risk factors include elevated BMI, renal dysfunction, ABO mismatch, donor malignancy, and specific immunosuppressive agents. Tailored risk assessments and targeted interventions are essential to mitigating PE-related mortality.
期刊介绍:
Pulmonary Circulation''s main goal is to encourage basic, translational, and clinical research by investigators, physician-scientists, and clinicans, in the hope of increasing survival rates for pulmonary hypertension and other pulmonary vascular diseases worldwide, and developing new therapeutic approaches for the diseases. Freely available online, Pulmonary Circulation allows diverse knowledge of research, techniques, and case studies to reach a wide readership of specialists in order to improve patient care and treatment outcomes.
