Hypoxia of the pulmonary artery wall results in pulmonary hypertension.
The top image shows the small incision for implanting a ventricular support system (artificial heart). This technique only became possible after the production of smaller systems in the course of development (picture below)
Satisfactory extended preservation of the lung has been difficult to obtain. This study investigated the influence of different volumes and flow rates during flush-perfusion of the lung, and their effect on post-transplant oxygenation.
Pediatric lung transplantation (LTx) remains a challenge for a highly selected group of patients. The main causes of death were infection and chronic graft failure. Reduced-size transplantation was performed in 42% of double-lung tx
-Do Long-Term Outcomes Justify Their Use? The shortage of donor organs for lung transplantation is often threatening. As a result, we have repeatedly had to resort to older donor organs. The long-term results were satisfactory.
Extensive experience with ECMO has led to numerous interventions, including for COVID, often as non-intubated awake ECMO
Mathematical modeling of the development of arteriosclerosis based on mechanical, chemical and biological influences supports the “outside-in” theory.
Is this the culmination of a campaign? Heart surgeon Axel Haverich has been excluded from the Future Prize because of patent issues. His team was unfairly accused of questionable treatment trials “in poor foreign countries”.
