Native lung complications (NLCs) after native lung-sparing LDLLT had favorable outcomes, and NLCs may occur significantly later in LDLLT recipients than in CLT recipients.
BACKGROUND: Living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) is viable for critically ill patients in situations of donor shortage. Because it is sometimes difficult to find 2 ideal living donors with suitable graft sizes, we developed native lung-sparing procedures, including single LDLLT and native upper lobe-sparing LDLLT. This study aimed to investigate native lung complications (NLCs) in native lung-sparing LDLLT. METHODS: Between April 2002 and March 2019, 92 LDLLTs and 124 cadaveric lung transplantations (CLTs) were performed at the Kyoto University Hospital. Our prospectively maintained database and clinical records were reviewed to compare NLCs among recipients who underwent native lung-sparing LDLLT (n = 21) with those among recipients who underwent single CLT (n = 61). RESULTS: Among 21 recipients who underwent native lung-sparing LDLLT, 11 NLCs occurred in 8 recipients. No fatal NLC was noted; however, 2 required surgical intervention. Post-transplant survival was not significantly different between native lung-sparing LDLLT recipients with NLCs and those without NLCs. The incidence of NLCs was comparable between native lung-sparing LDLLT recipients and single CLT recipients (8/21 vs 26/61, p = 0.80); however, NLCs occurred significantly later in LDLLT recipients than in CLT recipients (median: 665 vs 181.5 days after transplantation, p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS: NLCs after native lung-sparing LDLLT had favorable outcomes. Therefore, native lung-sparing LDLLT is a useful treatment option for severely ill patients who cannot wait for CLT. However, it is important to recognize that NLCs may occur later in LDLLT than in CLT. J Heart Lung Transplant 2021;40:343?350 ? 2021 International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation.
