Heart Lung Transplantation

 

Guest: Richard C. Daly, M.D.

Guest: Philip J. Spencer, M.D.

Host: Kyle Klarich, M.D.

 

Heart lung transplantation is the transplant of the combined heart-lung organ bloc from a donor into a recipient who has end-stage disease of both the heart and the lungs.  This is often necessary because the disease in 1 of the organs (the heart or the lungs) caused the disease in the other organ system.  For example, pulmonary hypertension might cause gradual but irreversible right ventricular failure in the heart.  The prognosis after heart-lung transplantation is similar to patients who receive isolated lung transplantation.

 

Topics Discussed:

  • Heart-lung transplantation and why it is unique.?
  • Types of diseases that would require heart-lung transplantation.
  • Prognosis after heart-lung transplantation compared to heart transplant and lung transplant survival.
  • Immunologic advantages to block heart-lung transplantation.
