Does reperfusion injury still cause significant mortality after lung transplantation?

Abstract: Improved early survival after lung transplantation is due to less severe reperfusion injury, as well as improvements in survival with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

“…In fact, outcomes for lung transplantation are the worst of any solid organ transplant. Lung ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, which affects up to 35% of transplant recipients, continues to be a common cause of early morbidity and mortality (1,2). Lung IR injury also has long-term effects on the allograft, predisposing recipients to a greater risk for the development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (3,4).…”

“…Despite the success of lung transplantation, 20% to 35% of patients experience ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation [2]. This process results in pulmonary edema and intraalveolar and systemic cytokine release, leading to acute lung injury.…”

“…IR injury entails a rapid inflammatory response upon transplantation resulting in activation of the innate immune system, expression of proinflammatory cytokines, leukocyte infiltration, and edema, all of which contribute to subsequent acute graft failure. With a reported incidence of 25-30%, IR injury results in increased resource utilization, including prolonged mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit duration, and overall hospital lengths of stay (1,2). Moreover, IR injury has also been identified as an important clinical risk factor for the development of chronic graft rejection in the form of bronchiolitis obliterans (3).…”

“…In light of these findings, the purpose of the present study was twofold: (1) to evaluate the impact of acute perioperative hyperglycemia on lung IR injury; and (2) to evaluate the role of RAGE signaling in hyperglycemia-enhanced IR injury. We hypothesized that acute hyperglycemia worsens lung IR injury through a RAGE signaling mechanism.…”
