ObjectivesLung transplantation (LTx) remains the definitive treatment for end-stage lung failure, whereas chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents one of the main diagnoses leading to the indication for a transplant. We sought to assess long-term outcomes after LTx in patients diagnosed with COPD and analyze factors influencing outcome in this frequent patient cohort. MethodsBetween January 2007 and November 2013, a total of 88 LTx were performed in patients with COPD in our institution. Patients with emphysema associated with alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency were excluded from this observation. The study design was a retrospective review of the prospectively collected data. A large number of pre-, intra-, and postoperative variables were analyzed including long-term survival and freedom from bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Furthermore, impact of different variables on survival was analyzed. ResultsPreoperative donor data indicated a large proportion of marginal donors. While the overall cumulative survival after six yr was 57.4%, the results in terms of BOS-free survival in long-term follow-up were 39.7% after six yr. Patients with COPD were also associated with a low incidence (2.3%) of the need for postoperative extracorporeal life support (ECLS). ConclusionsLong-term results after LTx in patients with COPD are acceptable with excellent survival, freedom from BOS, and low use of ECLS postoperatively despite permanently increasing proportion of marginal organs used.
