Trasplante pulmonar por enfisema: análisis retrospectivo de 65 pacientes

Patients with SLT had a lower rate of perioperative complications and a higher survival during their stay in the ICU. Time of mechanical ventilation > 48 hours and postoperative hemorrhage were the variables that best predicted death in the early postoperative period following lung transplantation. Despite our experience, however, perioperative mortality in lung transplantation remains high up to this day.
