1 LUNG TRANSPLANTATION AN OVERVIEW. JNANESH THACKER. M.Ch. CON. CARDIAC SURGEON. HINDUJA HOSPITAL

2 LUNG TRANSPLANTATION. HEART TRANSPLANTATION. HEART-LUNG TRANSPLANTATION.

3 IS LUNG TRANSPLANTATION.. A SCIENCE FICTION? EXPERIMENTAL SURGERY? A DEFINITIVE TREATMENT FOR END STAGE LUNG DISEASE?

4 GOAL OF THIS TALK. TO SHOW THAT LUNG TRANSPLANTATION IS A DEFINITIVE TREATMENT FOR END STAGE LUNG DISEASE. END STAGE MAY BE DUE TO COPD. INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE. PULMONARY HYPERTENSION. AWARENESS FOR ORGAN DONATION.

5 CONTENT. HISTORY OF LTx. MOST EXPERIENCED CENTERS IN THE WORLD. THE PROCESS OF LUNG TRANSPLANTATION. WHICH PATIENTS NEED LUNG TRANSPLANTATION? WHEN TO REFER A PATIENT FOR LUNG TRANSPLANTATION? WHERE TO REFER? WHAT IS AN IDEAL DONOR. HOW TO SELECT AN ACCEPTABLE DONOR.

6 CONTENT. HOW TO PRESERVE THE LUNGS? HOW LONG THE LUNGS CAN BE OUT OF THE BODY SAFELY? SHOULD WE DO SINGLE LUNG OR DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANTATION? WHAT IS THE IMMUNOSUPPRESSION PROTOCOL? HOW DO WE PROTECT AGAINST INFECTION AFTER IMMUNOSUPPRESSION WHAT IS THE LONG TERM FOLLOW UP? TECHNIQUE OF SURGERY. TRANSPLANT TEAM.

7 LUNG TRANSPLANTATION COMPARED TO MAXIMAL MEDICAL TREATMENT. (Thalbut G, Mal H, Castier Y, Survival Benefit of Lung transplantation for patients with IPF J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2003; 126: ) N= : Lung transplantation. 16: Died on the Waiting List. 2 Active on the Wait List. Lung Transplantation reduced risk of death by 75%.

8 8 COPD\IPF\PH

10 HISTORY : FIRST LUNG TRANSPLANT BY JAMES HARDY,UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI : FIRST SUCCESSFUL LUNG TRANSPLANTATION BY JOEL COOPER, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO.

11 WHAT IS..the Tx Jargon.? UNOS. (UNITED NETWORK OF ORGAN SHARING)? OPO (ORGAN PROCUREMENT ORGANISATION)? C.O.R.E. (PITTSBURGH) GIFT OF LIFE. (PHILADELPHIA) LAS SCORE. (LUNG ALLOCATION SCORE)?

12 THE GOAL OF TRANSPLANTATION. THE GOAL OF ALL TRANSPLANTATION IS: MAXIMUM SURVIVAL BENEFIT with an IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE.

13 THE PROCESS OF LUNG TRANSPLANTATION.

14 4 MOST IMPORTANT POINTS OF DONOR CHEST X-RAY. EVALUATION. ABG. PaO2 > 300 mm of Hg on FiO2 of 100% and PEEP of 5. TV = 10ml/kg. (P/F Ratio >/= 3) BRONCHOSCOPY : No injury/ No infection. EYE BALL TEST. (INSPECTION AND PALPATION OF THE LUNGS AFTER OPENING THE CHEST)

30 THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

31 PREPARATION FOR IMPLANTATION.

32 WHICH PATIENTS NEED LUNG TRANSPLANTATION. WHEN TO REFER? WHEN TO LIST?

33 DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR PATIENT SELECTION. In 1998 Transplant physicians representing ISHLT, AMERICAN SOCIETY OF TRANSPLANT PHYSICIANS, AMERICAN THORACIC SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN RESPIRATORY SOCIETY, AND THORACIC SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND met to develop International Guidelines for Patient Selection. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 1998; 158:

34 DISEASE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES. THESE GUIDELINES SUGGEST ANSWERS TO TWO QUESTIONS UNDER EACH DIAGNOSIS. WHEN TO REFER A PATIENT FOR LUNG TRANSPLANTATION? WHEN TO LIST THE PATIENT? (J Heart Lung Transplant 2006; 25: )

35 COPD: BODE INDEX. Celli BR, Caverley PMA, et al Respir med 2005;99: FEV1 (% predicted) (Obstructive lung disease) Six min walk test.(m). Exercise. >/= </= 35 >/= </=149 MMRD Dyspnea scale BMI >21 </=21 MMRD = MODIFIED MEDICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL

36 COPD. WHEN TO REFER? WHEN BODE INDEX IS > 5.

37 COPD. WHEN TO LIST? BODE INDEX Hospitalization with exacerbation. (PCO2 > 55 mm Hg) Pulmonary Hypertension, Cor Pulmonale or both despite O2 therapy. FEV1 <20% and either DLCO<20% or homogenous emphysema.

38 TIMING FOR EVALUATION AND LISTING FOR LUNG TRANSPLANTATION (GUIDELINES 2006) The unpredictable and catastrophic progression, make timing for evaluation and listing a crucial decision. 1. REFFERAL AND EVALUATION AT INITIAL DIAGNOSIS OF IPF/UIP. 2. WHEN THE PATIENT REQUIRES 4 LITERS OF OXYGEN ON EXERTION. 3. ANY AMOUNT ON REST.

39 PAH. WHEN TO REFER? NYHA III or IV irrespective of on- going therapy. Rapidly progressive disease.

40 PAH. WHEN TO LIST? PERSISTANT NYHA III or IV IRRESPECTIVE OF ONGOING THERAPY. DECLINING 6MWT. LOW (<362 m) FAILING THERAPY WITH EPOPROSTENOL OR EQUIVALENT CARDIAC INDEX < 2 L/min/m2 RIGHT ATRIAL PRESSURE > 15 mm Hg.

41 WHERE TO REFER?

42 HINDUJA HOSPITAL. DR. ZARIR UDWADIA. M.D. MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF LUNG TRANSPLANTATION. DR. JNANESH THACKER. M. Ch. SURGICAL DIRECTOR OF LUNG TRANSPLANTATION. END STAGE HEART AND LUNG DISEASE OPD. EVERY MONDAY 1 TO 5 PM. THIRD FLOOR, THIRD WING.

43 WHICH PATIENTS WE SHOULD NOT OPERATE?

44 ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS. Guidelines: MALIGNANCY WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS (EXCEPT SQUAMOUS AND BASAL CELL SKIN CANCER.) UNTREATABLE DYSFUNCTION OF SECOND ORGAN e.g. CAD not amenable to PCI or bypass surgery./ Heart-Lung Transplantation. NON CURABLE EXTRAPULMONARY INFECTIONS. e.g. Chronic Active Hepatitis B and C, and HIV. CHEST WALL OR SPINAL DEFORMITIES. These increase the perioperative risk greatly. Therefore survival benefit favors medical management.

45 ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS. (Guidelines: 2006) DOCUMENTED NON COMPLIANCE. UNTREATABLE PSYCHIATRIC OR PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITION LEADING TO NON COMPLIANCE. ABSENCE OF RELIABLE AND CONSISTENT SOCIAL SUPPORT. ACTIVE SUBSTANCE ABUSE OR ACTIVE WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. (J Heart Lung transplant 2006; 25: )

46 HOW DO WE PRESERVE THE LUNGS?

47 LUNG PRESERVATION SOLUTION. PERFEDEX With 1 ampoule of PGE-1.

48 LUNG PRESERVATION. ANTEGRADE IN THE PULMONARY ARTERY ON THE MAIN OR TABLE AFTER CROSS CLAMP) 70 ml/kg. RETROGRADE IN ALL THE PULMONARY VEINS. (APPROX 500cc IN EACH ON THE BACK TABLE) 2.8 Liters
