Association of Pulmonary Artery Pressure Change With Post-Lung Transplantation Survival: Retrospective Analysis of China Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used as intraoperative hemodynamic support in patients with end-stage lung diseases and pulmonary hypertension undergoing lung transplantation (LT).

Objectives

The aim of this study was to identify the association of pulmonary artery pressure change during ECMO and post-LT survival.

Methods

The study investigators collected and analyzed the data from Chinese Lung Transplantation Registry. Patients who have severe pulmonary hypertension with intraoperative ECMO support were enrolled. Post-LT mortality and morbidity were further collected and compared.

Results

A total of 208 recipients were included in the study, during which 53 deaths occurred post-LT. All the patients had severe pulmonary hypertensi
