The outcome of lung transplantation for end-stage pulmonary diseases with pulmonary hypertension: a single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung transplantation is a treatment for end-stage lung disease. The optimal transplant strategy for patients with end-stage lung disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension (PH) is controversial. The aim of this study is to review this experience and analyze the outcomes of lung transplantation for PH.

Methods

This retrospective study collected data on patients with PH undergoing lung transplantation between March 2016 and December 2019 at a single center in China. The perioperative features and short- and medium-term outcomes between single-lung transplantation (SLT) and double-lung transplantation (DLT) were compared. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to analyze overall survival across a variety of transplantation procedures, age, mean pulmonary artery pressure (
