“…Although survival is not as good compared to a primary transplantation, for a well-selected group of patients redo transplantation may be the only option to improve outcome and quality of life (45). Given the scarcity of donor organs, this is not an option offered at every transplant center.…”

CT and obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) on histopathology, while RAS/rCLAD patients show a restrictive pulmonary function, persistent pleuro-parenchymal infiltrates on CT and pleuroparenchymal fibro-elastosis on biopsies. Importantly, the patients with RAS/rCLAD have a severely limited survival post diagnosis of 6-18 months compared to 3-5 years after BOS diagnosis. In this review, we will review historical evidence for this heterogeneity and we will highlight the clinical, radiological, histopathological characteristics of both phenotypes, as well as their risk factors. Treatment of CLAD remains troublesome, nevertheless, we will give an overview of different treatment strategies that have been tried with some success. Adequate phenotyping remains difficult but is clearly needed for both clinical and scientific purposes.

“…In 2013, 47.647 lung transplants were registered worldwide. Of these, 45,697 (95.9%) patients underwent primary lung transplantation and 1,950 underwent lung retransplantation (4) . In Brazil, about seven hundred were performed and there are patients requiring lung transplant who do not even were referred to a transplant center once there are just seven active centers in the country (2) .…”

To analyze, using a literature review, Pulmonary Rehabilitation (RP) Programs in lung transplant. Methods: A literature review in July 2014 in Ebsco Host, Periódicos Capes, BVS and Science Direct data bases using descriptors in English ("lung transplantation", "lung transplant" AND/OR "rehabilitation") and Portuguese ("reabilitação" AND/OR "transplante pulmonar"). The eligibility criterions were interventional studies of PR before and/or after lung transplant; participants who were candidates to lung transplant or lung transplant recipients; studies that applied any kind of PR program (hospital-based, homebased or outpatient) and articles published in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Literature reviews, guidelines and case reports were excluded. The search process yielded 46 articles of which two were duplicated. After title and abstract screening 13 articles remained for full text reading. Six studies met the inclusion eligibility and were included in the review. Results:The studies involved patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Pulmonary Hypertension, Interstitial Lung Disease and Pulmonary Fibrosis. Pulmonary function, exercise capacity, quality of life (QoL) and quadriceps force were evaluated. Most interventions were outpatient programs with three months duration, three times a week and session with at least one hour. Protocols included physical training, educational approach and just one included nutritional, psychiatric and social assistant follow-up. The studies presented significant change in the six-minute walking distance, QoL and quadriceps force after PR programs. Conclusion: This review showed the benefits of the PR in the QoL and exercise capacity contributing to the Health Promotion of the patients. Descriptors

“…The world of lung transplantation (LTx) has been steadily expanding in number and complexity, particularly over the last 5 years, following a quiet yet significant revolution in the composition of the donor lung pool and donor lung management (1). The first insight was the recognition that donation after circulatory determination of death (DCDD) lungs were a sizeable feasible donor pool (2), and the second was that novel lung donor assessment and intervention could be utilized to enable previously unacceptable lungs to be successfully transplanted (3,4).…”

“…LTx is growing every year through these approaches (1). Additionally, some of the techniques and strategies learnt in lungs are being applied to liver transplantation and heart transplantation.…”
