Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2021.01.492
Abstract: Purpose Pre-formed donor-specific antibodies (pf-DSA) are associated with worse outcome after lung transplantation (LTx) and might limit access to LTx. A virtual crossmatch (CXM)-based strategy for perioperative desensitization protocol has been used for immunized LTx… read more here.

DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2017.05.025
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Although increasing evidence in lung transplantation (LTx) suggests that intraoperative management could influence outcomes, there are no guidelines available regarding intraoperative management of LTx. The overall goal of the study was to assess geographic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00498254.2016.1195936
Abstract: Abstract 1. The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and tissue distribution of larotaxel (LTX) solution with a newly developed formulation called LTX-loaded folate-poly (PEG-cyanoacrylate-co-cholesteryl cyanoacrylate) (FA-PEG-PCHL)-modified liposomes in rats. 2. An ultra-performance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/mca.0000000000001153
Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is common in candidates for lung transplantation (LTx) and has historically been considered a relative contraindication to transplantation. We look to review the outcomes of LTx in patients with CAD and… read more here.
