Bilateral Robotic Lung Transplant as well as lung Procurement and usage of EVLPD for the borderline Donor     Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani,Attending Professor of Cardiovascular Surgery and Head of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Nonintubated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly utilized for patients with severe respiratory failure. Since data on its use as a bridge to lung transplant remain limited,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has expanded and is now widely applied to perioperative care in lung transplant. Respiratory failure after lung transplant is a clinical..

Abstract Background Veno-arterial (V-A) and veno-venous (V-V) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are crucial support modalities during lung transplantation, yet their comparative effectiveness remains unclear. Methods We conducted an 8-year retrospective..

Abstract Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), imply a decrease in the ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide by the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplant (BTT) has been used for critically ill candidates with excellent outcomes, but data on this strategy in older recipients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract While extracorporeal support of patients awaiting pulmonary transplantation is now well-established, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains a nondurable technology deployed for short-term support or recovery in patients with progressive..
