ConferenceJ Heart Lung Transplant · July 29, 2026
BACKGROUND: Surgical access for bilateral lung transplantation (BLTx), including clamshell, sternotomy, and isolated bilateral thoracotomies (IBT), may influence perioperative outcomes. We analyzed the international ECLS Registry to assess the impact of ac ...

ConferenceThe Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation · April 1, 2020
PURPOSE: Prior single center experiences suggest that use of ECLS during lung transplantation (LT) increases the risk of PGD. Here we analyze the effects of intraoperative ECLS time on PGD after LT in a multicenter ECLS registry. METHODS: The ECLS in LT re ...
