Indications
- IPF (top)
- COPD
- CF
- PAH
- α1-antitrypsin deficiency
- Bronchiectasis
- ILD (sarcoid, CTD)
- Eisenmenger (heart-lung)
LAS (Lung Allocation Score)
- Replaced wait-time system 2005
- Urgency + transplant benefit
- Priority allocation
- LAS ⥠35 considered for listing
Bilateral vs Single Lung Transplant
- Bilateral preferred (most)
- Single for COPD without infection (older patients)
Heart-Lung Transplant
- Eisenmenger
- Severe PAH + biventricular failure
- Rare
Contraindications
- Active malignancy < 5 yr
- Active infection
- Substance abuse (within 6 mo)
- Severe comorbidities
- Severe psychosocial issues
- BMI > 30-35
Immunosuppression
- Tacrolimus + MMF + prednisone
- Induction: basiliximab or ATG
Prophylaxis
- TMP-SMX for PCP
- Valganciclovir for CMV (high-risk)
- Voriconazole / itraconazole
PGD (Primary Graft Dysfunction)
- Within 72 hours
- Bilateral infiltrates + hypoxemia
- Risk for chronic dysfunction
Acute Rejection
- Cellular (T-cell): treat with pulse steroids
- AMR: plasmapheresis + IVIG + rituximab + bortezomib
CLAD (Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction)
- BOS: bronchiolitis obliterans (obstructive)
- RAS: restrictive allograft syndrome (worse)
- 1-5 year after transplant
- Top cause of long-term graft loss
- Azithromycin chronic
Survival
- 1-yr: 85%
- 5-yr: 55%
- 10-yr: 30%
Major Complications
- PGD (acute)
- Acute rejection
- CLAD (long-term)
- Infection (CMV, fungal)
- Malignancy (PTLD)
- Renal dysfunction (CNI)

EVLP (Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion)
- Donor optimization
- Reassess marginal lungs
- Extended preservation
- Increasing utilization
DCD (Donation After Circulatory Death)
- After cardiac death
- Increasing pool
- Comparable outcomes
