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

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

We quantified pulmonary vascular permeability with positron emission tomography (PET)
and gallium-68-(^ Ga) labeled transferrin. Six dogs with oleic acid-induced lung injury …

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 …

We measured extravascular density (EVD) and the pulmonary transcapillary escape rate
(PTCER) for 68Ga-transferrin using positron emission tomography in 14 normal volunteers …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of quantitative perfusion lung
scintigraphy (QPLS) in predicting the development of chronic rejection in patients who …

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 …

We studied the characteristics of the pulmonary reimplantation response (PRR) in single-
lung transplantation (SLT), and detailed the occurrence, evolution, prognosis and risk factors …

We evaluated the following spirometric values: forced vital capacity (FVC), first second
expiratory volume (FEV 1), FEV 1/FVC, the lung volumes, total lung capacity (TLC), residual …

Endothelial monolayer integrity is a critical factor limiting vascular permeability of solid
organs in transplantation. Several in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo studies suggest that damage to …
