Specific risks and outcomes of octogenarians post-lung cancer resection: our 5-year experience.
J Thorac Dis
December 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Glasgow, UK.
Background: An increasingly large proportion of patients undergoing curative surgery for lung cancer, are octogenarians. We evaluated our short and long-term survival and adverse outcomes after oncological lung resections.
Methods: Octogenarians undergoing anatomical resection for confirmed or suspected lung cancer at a single-centre between January 2016 and December 2021 were included.
Functional Measures in Non-COPD Chronic Respiratory Diseases: A Systematic Review.
J Clin Med
November 2024
Laboratory of Research in Respiratory Physiotherapy (LFIP), Department of Physiotherapy, Londrina State University (UEL), Londrina 86038-3500, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- A systematic review was conducted to evaluate functional performance (FP) instruments for chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) other than chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), highlighting the challenge of selecting the right tool.
- The review found and analyzed 216 studies across seven types of CRD, identifying 33 different FP instruments, with the SF-36 questionnaire and the 1-minute sit-to-stand test being the most commonly used.
- Despite the widespread use of these instruments, there is limited data on their measurement properties and clinical significance, making this review essential for guiding clinical choices in non-COPD CRD.
Right Heart Recovery Post Lung Transplant With COVID-19-Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
J Transplant
November 2024
Department of Surgery, Division of Thoracic Surgery, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Right heart remodeling is commonly observed in patients suffering from severe COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but there is limited information on the recovery of the right heart following lung transplantation for these patients.
- A study at Northwestern University analyzed data from 36 patients who underwent lung transplantation for COVID-19-related ARDS between June 2020 and June 2022, finding that none of the patients died within 90 days, and the 1-year survival rate was 88.8%.
- Postoperative evaluations revealed significant improvements in right ventricle (RV) size and function, as well as reduced pulmonary artery pressure, indicating that right heart recovery can occur relatively quickly after lung transplantation in this specific patient population.
The role of lung-restricted autoantibodies in the development of primary and chronic graft dysfunction.

Lung transplantation is a life-saving treatment for both chronic end-stage lung diseases and acute respiratory distress syndrome, including those caused by infectious agents like COVID-19. Despite its increasing utilization, outcomes post-lung transplantation are worse than other solid organ transplants. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD)-a condition affecting more than half of the recipients post-transplantation-is the chief risk factor for post-operative mortality, transplant-associated multi-organ dysfunction, and long-term graft loss due to chronic rejection.
