Abstract:
This article presents an off-pump lung transplantation technique via bilateral anterior thoracotomy. It details anesthesia management, tailored ventilation, and surgical steps to maintain hemodynamic stability. Avoiding extracorporeal support, this approach minimizes bleeding and enhances recovery, offering a safe, efficient alternative to clamshell incision for experienced transplant teams.
