NUMBER OF LUNG TRANSPLANTS REPORTED BY YEAR AND PROCEDURE TYPE ISHLT 2012 J Heart Lung Transplant. 2012 Oct; 31(10): 1045-1095 NOTE: This figure includes only the lung transplants that are reported to the ISHLT Transplant Registry. As such, this should not be construed as representing changes in the number of lung transplants performed worldwide.
WHO to refer for lung transplantation?
General Indications Predicted survival benefit from transplantation Quality of life also an important consideration Less than 50%, 2- to 3-year predicted survival or NYHA class III or IV level of function or both
Contraindications *Dysfunction of major organs other than the lung Kidneys: CrCl<50mg/ml/min Heart: consider CABGS/Angioplasty *Active malignancy within the last 2 years except BCC and SCC of the skin 5 years for extracapsular renal cell cancer, Ca Breast stage 2, Ca Colon > Dukes A, Melanoma Recent malignancy we may consider if very favorable prognosis *Active infection with HIV,HBV,HCV (+histological evidence of damage) *Drug/Alcohol abuse
RELATIVE contraindications Age>65 Critical or unstable clinical condition (e.g., shock, mechanical ventilation or ECMO) Severely limited functional status with poor rehabilitation potential Colonization with highly resistant or highly virulent bacteria, fungi, or mycobacteria BMI <70% or >130% ideal Psychiatric disease affecting comprehension and compliance Colonization by Burkholderia cepacia genomovar-3
Increased risk by other medical condition: Severe or symptomatic osteoporosis. DM GERD IHD Prior thoracic surgery and pleurodesis
Contraindications? Chronic hepatitis or HIV Other untreatable advanced organ dysfunction but combined transplant may be possible The role of lung transplantation for localized bronchoalveolar cell carcinoma remains controversial
Referral vs. Listing Referral: no downside to early referral! Optimize suitability for lung transplant (weight reduction, taper steroids, rehab) Educate patient on outcomes and commitments Complete evaluation testing Listing When patient imminently needs and wants a transplant ( when the lung disease limits basic activities and pose a high risk of death in the short term ) New guidelines include when to refer and when to transplant (JHLT 2006 25:745-755)

COPD
Prognostic Factors: BODE Criteria Recurrent hospitalizations with CO2 retention (less then 49% 2 years survival) Severity of hypoxemia and CO2 retention DLCO decrease General condition and BMI reduction. Homogenous emphysema with FEV1 and DLCO less then 20% of predicted.
50% of COPD patients undergoing single lung Tx and 66% DL Tx will have survival benefit Nearly 80% of COPD with FEV1 less then 16%,and 11% of COPD with FEV1 >25% are predicted to gain at least a year of life with DL Tx
Summary of guidelines for COPD Referral: BODE > 5 Transplantation: BODE 7-10 OR at least one of the following: History of hospitalization for exacerbation with acute hypercapnia Pulmonary hypertension and/or cor pulmonale despite oxygen therapy FEV1<20% and either DLCO<20% or homogenous distribution of emphysema

Interstitial Lung Disease
IPF: Guidelines for Transplantation DLco < 39% predicted 10% or greater fall in FVC over 6 months Decrease in O2 sat to 88% on 6MWT Honeycombing on HRCT (fibrotic score > 2) Practice :Refer to transplant center when you think to start treatment.
CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Median survival increased from less then 16 years to more then 35 years. Controversial about lung transplant survival benefit.
CF WHEN to Refer for Transplant? FEV1 below 30% predicted or a rapid decline in FEV1 in particular in young female patients Exacerbation of pulmonary disease requiring ICU stay Increasing frequency of exacerbations requiring antibiotic therapy Refractory and/or recurrent pneumothorax Recurrent hemoptysis not controlled by embolization
CF WHEN to Transplant? Oxygen-dependent respiratory failure Hypercapnia Pulmonary hypertension
PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION
Lung Transplantation Number of LT for PH has declined in the last 10 years Now indicated for PPH, CTEPH and PVOD who fail medical treatment Highest early and late mortality
PAH Guidelines for Referral NYHA functional class III or IV, irrespective of ongoing therapy Rapidly progressive disease
PAH Guidelines for Transplantation Persistent NYHA class III or IV on maximal medical therapy Low (<350 meter) or declining 6-MWT Failing therapy with intravenous epoprostenol, or equivalent Cardiac index of less than 2 liters/min/m2 Right atrial pressure exceeding 15 mm Hg
To Summarize WHO Guidelines have changed Practices are still changing WHAT Lung disease compromising function and survival WHEN (by Diagnosis) Early referral is best List when survival is likely to be improved by transplant or for very poor quality of life? WHY Transplant saves lives, and makes them better

Diagnosis Indication for lung biopsy (isn t always necessary)-cystic pulmonary changes without corroborating features of known TSC or angiomyolipoma. In smokers lung biopsy may be required to distinguish LAM from emphysema and plch. TBB with HMB-45 stain
Treatment Hormonal manipulation: Effective:Medroxyprogesterone, Progesterone, oopho-rectomy + progesterone therapy Mixed results:tamoxifen, GnRH agonist Lung transplantation: Recurrence has been described in allografts (thus progesterone therapy is continued in some patient after transplant )
Treatment Sirolimus: Rapamycin complex 1 inactivator. FEV1 and FVC improvement, but no difference on DLCO and 6 min walk
