The incidence of invasive fungal infections has increased in recent years among transplant patients, with Trichosporon inkin being a rare but relevant etiological agent. This study examines the experience of our multidisciplinary lung transplant unit in the diagnosis and treatment of 6 cases of T. inkin infection in transplant patients from 2016 to 2023.

- * It compares outcomes between two recovery techniques: TA-NRP (which includes simultaneous heart recovery) and abdominal NRP (A-NRP) without heart recovery, focusing on the incidence of severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and other post-transplant metrics.
- * Results showed no significant difference in severe PGD rates at 72 hours between techniques, but TA-NRP patients had a significantly lower overall incidence of PGD and equivalent post-transplant outcomes compared to A-NRP.
Objectives: The goal of this study was to describe the clinical features and outcomes of thoracic surgery patients during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Methods: Thirty-five patients were treated at the 12 de Octubre University Hospital in Madrid between 1 March 2020 and 24 April 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patient demographics, surgical procedures, complications, COVID-19 symptoms and outcomes were recorded.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of arterial stump thrombosis (AST) after pulmonary resection surgery for lung cancer and to describe subsequent radiological follow-up and treatment.
Material And Methods: Observational, descriptive study of AST detected by computerized tomography angiography (CT) using intravenous contrast. Clinical and radiological variables were compared and a survival analysis using Kaplan-Meier curves was performed after dividing patients into 3 groups: patients with AST, patients with pulmonary embolism (PE), and patients without AST or PE.
Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and risk factors of patients with chest trauma, and to evaluate their correlation with the development of complications.
Methods: Descriptive, prospective and analytical study of a patient cohort with chest trauma who underwent follow-up for a period of 30 days. Excluded from the study were those patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, long-bone fractures, abdominal trauma and patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
