Quantifying Physical and Biochemical Factors That Contribute to Primary Graft Dysfunction After Lung Transplantation

March 1, 2011 updated by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Measurement of Physical and Biochemical Markers of Reperfusion Edema During Primary Graft Dysfunction Following Lung Transplantation. Assessment of Their Diagnosis and Prognosis Values

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD or lung reperfusion edema) complicates 10 to 20% of lung transplantations and leads to severe early and late postoperative complications. Its pathophysiology remains unclear but may involve graft ischemia-reperfusion, increased vascular permeability, pneumocyte dysfunction and finally alveolar flooding that impair gas exchange and blood oxygenation.Its substrate, namely extravascular lung water (EVLW), can now be clinically measured with minimally invasive Intensive Care Unit monitors (PiCCO2®, Pulsion Medical Systems) that also provides a physical estimate of pulmonary vascular permeability (PVPI). Similarly, biochemical correlates of vascular permeability (ICAM-1) and pneumocyte dysfunction (RAGE) can now be measured in plasma samples. Our study aims at quantifying physical and biochemical markers of PGD and assess their diagnosis and prognosis values.
