This research aims to assess posttransplant survival rates in patients with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease compared to other pulmonary hypertension subtypes.
Analysis of survival outcomes in lung transplantation for PVOD patients
Comparison with other group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension subtypes
Evaluation of the impact of postoperative need for non-invasive ventilation on mortality
Survival rates for PVOD patients post-lung transplant are similar to other group 1 PAH subtypes
Need for non-invasive ventilation post-surgery is linked to higher mortality risk
Abstract
Lung transplantation in PVOD patients results in survival comparable to other group 1 PAH subtypes. Postoperative need for NIV identifies patients at higher risk of mortality.
