During lung transplantation, a number of factors may cause endothelial injury to the donor
organ, including ischemia, inadequate preservation, cardiopulmonary bypass, high …

We evaluated pulmonary vascular permeability in 15 patients after lung transplantation (21
allografts) by measuring the pulmonary transcapillary escape rate (PTCER) for Ga-68 …

In 8 donor pigs, flush perfusion was performed with a low-potassium-dextran solution. Ring
segments were taken from a smalt intralobar pulmonary artery in the right lung immediately …

Reperfusion lung injury is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after orthotopic lung
transplantation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the function of the alveolar …

We have employed multiple indicator dilution techniques (MID) in six patients after heart-
lung transplantation to assess changes in the lung vascular permeability-surface area …

A temporary increase in pulmonary vascular resistance is observed during the first 24 hr
following lung allotransplantation. We hypothesized that such early vascular changes are …

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a severe complication in lung transplantation. Therapeutic
strategies are limited and there exist no predictive markers for PGD. To investigate whether …

We investigated the relationship between the changes in the pulmonary blood flow and
histology during acute rejection following single lung transplantation. In single lung …

Background Experimental studies have provided evidence that, during acute pulmonary
allograft rejection, endothelial dysfunction occurs not only in the transplanted lung but also …

To find a new method for detection of rejection of allotransplanted lungs, we studied the
endothelin content of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid by radioimmunoassay. Left-sided lung …
