2022 Update of indications and contraindications for lung transplantation in France.

Lung transplantation (LTx) is a steadily expanding field. The considerable developments have been driven over the years by indefatigable work conducted at LTx centers to improve donor and recipient selection, combined with multifaceted efforts to overcome challenges raised by the surgical procedure, perioperative care, and long-term medical complications. One consequence has been a pruning away of contraindications over time, which has, in some ways, complicated the patient selection process.

Clampless 2 Device: Experimental Study of a Lateral Aorto-Prosthetic Anastomosic Device Without Clamping or Suturing.

Background: To offer an alternative to conventional techniques of lateral prosthetic anastomosis on arteries which require a long training, and impose an extensive open surgery, we are proposing the clampless 2 device (C2D) implanted by a simple arterial puncture and allows a lateral implantation of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) vascular graft in an artery, without arterial clamping or suture.

Methods: C2D is a "T" shaped 25-mm long and 8-mm diameter Nitinol stent with a 6-mm PTFE graft prosthesis mounted laterally on the stent, and implanted in an artery, via a 21-French sheath, and a compliant balloon inflation. In vitro testing of the C2D was first performed on a bench including a segment of a 7-mm internal diameter pig abdominal aorta.

[Updated indications and contraindications in 2022 for lung transplantation in France].

Lung transplantation (LTx) is the last-resort treatment for end-stage respiratory insufficiency, whatever its origin, and represents a steadily expanding field of endeavor. Major developments have been impelled over the years by painstaking efforts at LTx centers to improve donor and recipient selection, and multifaceted attempts have been made to meet the challenges raised by surgical management, perioperative care, and long-term medical complications. The number of procedures has increased, leading to improved post-LTx prognosis.

Lung transplantation for interstitial lung disease in idiopathic inflammatory myositis: A cohort study.

In patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) complicating classical or amyopathic idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), lung transplantation outcomes might be affected by the disease and treatments. Here, our objective was to assess survival and prognostic factors in lung transplant recipients with IIM-ILD. We retrospectively reviewed data for 64 patients who underwent lung transplantation between 2009 and 2021 at 19 European centers.

Stimulation of dental implant osseointegration by low-Intensity pulsed ultrasound: An in vivo preliminary study in a porcine model.

Purpose: Several studies have evaluated the interest of Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) in the osseointegration of dental implants in murine or rabbit models. However, the thinness and narrowness bones make it difficult to study the effect of LIPUS. The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of LIPUS to stimulate bone formation in contact with a titanium dental implant in a porcine model.

Lipofilling of the lower eyelids: A craniofacial tool to postpone the facial advancement in craniofacial syndromes.

Purpose: Many genetic diseases are responsible for a defect in the growth of the maxilla. Craniofacial syndromes such as Crouzon syndrome or Apert syndrome are typically associated with a major hypoplasia in the midface responsible for exophthalmos, leading to palpebral malocclusion and frequent corneal complications. Several treatments have been used to manage ocular protection in craniofacial syndromes such as tarsorrhaphy, a fronto-orbital advancement and/or a Lefort III osteotomy with or without distraction.

Is computer-assisted design and manufacturing technology useful in the surgical management of trigonocephaly?

The aim of this study is to assess the usefulness of CAD/CAM technology in the surgical treatment of trigonocephaly compared to conventional surgical treatment. Children operated from trigonocephaly between 2017 and 2019 at the French Referral Center for craniosynostosis of Femme-Mère-Enfant Hospital of Lyon, France, were included and separated in two groups. Group 1 included children operated on trigonocephaly using CAD-CAM technology; Group 2 included children operated on trigonocephaly without CAD-CAM technology.

A new approach of crenellated fronto-orbital advancement for the management of trigonocephaly: Technical note.

Trigonocephaly is a craniosynostosis characterized by a premature fusion of the metopic suture associating a characteristic triangular head shape, with a frontal medial crest and hypotelorism. Various techniques have been described for its surgical treatment which is usually performed during the first year of life. However, there might be cases with a late referral, after the age of one year.

Lung transplantation for sarcoidosis: outcome and prognostic factors.

Study Question: In patients with sarcoidosis, past and ongoing immunosuppressive regimens, recurrent disease in the transplant and extrapulmonary involvement may affect outcomes of lung transplantation. We asked whether sarcoidosis lung phenotypes can be differentiated and, if so, how they relate to outcomes in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis treated by lung transplantation.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from 112 patients who met international diagnostic criteria for sarcoidosis and underwent lung or heart-lung transplantation between 2006 and 2019 at 16 European centres.

Early Evaluation of Patients on Axial Flow Pump Support for Refractory Cardiogenic Shock is Associated with Left Ventricular Recovery.

We investigated prognostic factors associated with refractory left ventricle (LV) failure leading to LV assist device (LVAD), heart transplant or death in patients on an axial flow pump support for cardiogenic shock (CS). Sixty-two CS patients with an Impella CP or 5.0 implant were retrospectively enrolled, and clinical, biological, echocardiographic, coronarographic and management data were collected.

One stage microvascular mandible reconstruction by using scapula chimeric flap combined with computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing plate including bilateral alloplastic TMJ prosthesis: A case report.

This report focuses a defect comprising the complete mandible due to osteonecrosis, including both condyles, that required bilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction with complete mandibular corpus using a computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing(CAD-CAM) planning to harvest a scapula chimeric free flap combined with plate including bilateral alloplastic TMJ prosthesis. This procedure was realized in one and the same surgery. A 73 year-old-man developed an osteoradionecrosis of the total mandible including both condyles after radiation therapy for a squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue base(cT4aN2bM0G3).
