This study presents a novel technique for redo lung transplantation after a prior heart-lung transplant. The innovative approach avoids sternal division and extracorporeal support, simplifying the complex procedure.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Thoracic Surgery
- Transplantation Medicine
Background:
- Redo lung transplantation is a complex procedure, particularly after initial heart-lung transplantation.
- Previous extensive pericardiectomy can complicate subsequent thoracic surgeries.
- Minimizing invasiveness and cardiopulmonary support is desirable in retransplantation.
