Optimal lung preservation for heart-lung grafts involves topical cooling between 8-9°C. Temperatures below 6-7°C risk pulmonary vascular obstruction, impacting graft function.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Organ Preservation Science

Background:

  • Lung preservation is critical for successful heart-lung transplantation.
  • Determining optimal preservation temperatures minimizes ischemic injury and maximizes graft viability.
  • Current methods require refinement to reduce post-transplant complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the optimal temperature for lung preservation using topical cooling.
  • To investigate the relationship between preservation temperature and graft functional parameters.
  • To assess the risk of hypothermic ischemic injury at various preservation temperatures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 52 New Zealand white rabbit heart-lung grafts.
  • Preserved grafts via surface cooling for 18 hours at varied temperatures.

  • Assessed graft function using autologous blood perfusion, indocyanine green dilution, and histology.

    • Main Results:

    • Established significant regression models correlating preservation temperature (T) with oxygen tension (PO2) and wet-dry weight ratio (W/D).
    • Calculated the optimal preservation temperature range to be 8-9°C based on regression analysis.
    • Identified pulmonary vascular obstruction as a key injury below 6-7°C, supported by functional and histological data.

    Conclusions:

    • The optimal temperature for lung preservation via topical cooling is 8-9°C.
    • Preservation below 6-7°C increases the risk of pulmonary vascular obstruction and graft injury.
    • Findings provide crucial data for optimizing lung preservation protocols in transplantation.
