Objective To investigate the experience of operative technique of donor organ harvesting and lung transplantation in some unusual circumstance, and to improve surgical success ratio of lung transplantation. Methods Lung transplants were preformed in 65 cases, including 47 singlelung transplants and 18 double single lung transplants. All the recipients were suffered from intensive respiratory failure,and nine patients were longterm ventilatordependented of the total. The recipients included emphysema (n=23), pulmonary fibrosis (n=24), pneumosilicosis(n=5), pulmonary tuberculosis(n=2), lymphangioleiomyomatosis(n=1) and ventricular septal defect(VSD) or VSD with Eisenmenger’s syndrome(n=4),bronchiectasis (n=4), diffuse panbronchiolitis (n=1) and primary pulmonary hypertension(n=1). Retrospectively summarize clinical experience of lung transplant operation especially experience of dealing with special circumstances encountered in operation. Results 64 donor organ harvesting were achieved successfully. Inhospital death was 11cases (16.9%) after operation. Early death was due to primary lung graft dysfunction (n=3), severe infection(n=6), acute rejection(n=1), pulmonary vein embolism(n=1). Complications took place after operation in 9 cases, to exploratory thoracotomy to stop bleeding after transplantation in 3 cases, pulmonary artery anastomosis again because of stenosis in 1 case, bronchus stoma stenosis in 3 cases, pulmonary infarction in 2 cases, of which one patient accepted pulmonary lobectomy. Follow-up period was from 1.0 year to 5.6 years of 54 cases. 1year survival rate was 72.3%(47/65).The pulmonary function was improved and the quality of life is well in most patients of the group. Conclusion To improve the technique of donor organ harvesting and lung transplantation is important to decrease the early mortality after transplantation.
