Risk factors and outcomes of vocal cord paralysis after lung transplantation - a retrospective cohort study

Abstract: Summary Vocal cord paralysis (VCP) may complicate thoracic surgery and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Among lung transplant (LTx) recipients, chronic pulmonary aspiration can contribute to chronic allograft dysfunction (CLAD). We herein assessed the unknown incidence and clinical impact of VCP in a large LTx cohort. All first‐time bilateral LTx recipients, transplanted between January 2010 and June 2015 were included in a single‐centre retrospective analysis. Bronchoscopy reports were as… Show more

“…9,42 Dysphonia may present as hoarse or absent voice or weak cough and may indicate glottic incompetence, risk of aspiration with associated chest infection and potential for respiratory distress. 10 The potential mechanisms for dysfunction in swallowing and voice following transplantation in this population are discussed below (see also Figure 1).…”

“…This would appear to be supported by increased rates of left sided VFP. 10,14 In addition, Taeneka and colleagues report ventricular assist device implantation to be a high risk for severe VFP which they hypothesize to be potentially related to nerve compression from enlarged cardiovascular structures or direct manipulation and retraction of the heart. 20 Given an increasing proportion of patients with end stage cardiac failure are now being supported via ventricular assist device's, the implant/explant of these devices is likely to further the risk of RLN damage.…”
