Living lobar lung transplantation offers a life-saving option for patients with end-stage lung disease when cadaveric organs are unavailable. This procedure is safe for donors, with high satisfaction rates, though risks exist.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Transplantation Surgery
  • Organ Donation

Background:

  • Cadaveric lung transplantation is preferred for end-stage lung disease.
  • Organ scarcity poses a significant challenge for eligible recipients.
  • Living lobar transplantation offers an alternative when cadaveric organs are unavailable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of living lobar lung transplantation.
  • To assess donor outcomes and recipient survival rates.
  • To discuss the critical factors for successful living donor lung transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of authors' experience with living lobar lung transplantation.
  • Analysis of donor safety, physiological tolerance, and satisfaction.

  • Comparison of long-term survival with cadaveric lung grafts.

    • Main Results:

    • Living lobar transplantation is a safe and well-tolerated procedure for donors.
    • The majority of donors report high satisfaction with their decision.
    • Recipient survival is comparable to that of cadaveric lung grafts, with a quoted donor mortality risk of 0.5%-1%.

    Conclusions:

    • Living lobar lung transplantation is a viable, life-saving option for select patients.
    • Careful recipient and donor selection, along with precise timing, are crucial.
    • Favorable outcomes support considering this procedure more widely, despite ethical considerations.
