OBJECTIVE: To evaluate operative technique, @entity1 selection and perioperative management of single-lung transplantation for a @entity1 with @entity454 . METHODS: A 56-year-old @entity1 with @entity454 underwent left-lung transplantation on September 28, 2002. The surgical technique used was similar to that mentioned in the literature. The donor lung was perfused by LPD solution with a cold ischemic time of 260 minutes. Cardiopulmonary bypass was not performed. RESULTS: The @entity1 weaned from a ventilator at the 93th hour after operation. Immunosuppressants included @entity205 , @entity618 and @entity228 . Acute rejection occurred on the ninth day after operation and was cured by bolus @entity1667 given intravenously. Lung function was improved significantly and the @entity1 was discharged from the hospital on the 47th day after operation. CONCLUSION: Single-lung transplantation for @entity1 with @entity454 is effective for long-term improvement of pulmonary function.
