Abstract

Airway anastomotic complications remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation (LT). Few data are available with regard to the use of silicone stents for these airway disorders. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of silicone stents for such an indication. Data of adult lung transplant recipients who had procedures performed between January 1997 and December 2007 at our institution were reviewed retrospectively. We included patients with post-transplant airway complications who required bronchoscopic intervention with a silicone stent. In 17 of 117 (14.5%) LT recipients, silicone stents were inserted at a mean time of 165 (range 5 to 360) days after surgery in order to palliate 23 anastomotic airway stenoses. Symptomatic improvement was noted in all patients, and mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) increased by 672 +/- 496 ml (p < 0.001) after stent insertion. The stent-related complication rate was 0.13/patient per month. The latter consisted of obstructive granulomas (n = 10), mucus plugging (n = 7) and migration (n = 7), which were of mild to moderate severity and were successfully managed endoscopically. Mean stent duration was 266 ...Continue Reading

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
