This study explores how disparities between actual and predicted total lung capacity (TLC) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) affect lung function parameters and long-term outcomes after lung transplantation. A total of 170 ILD patients who underwent lung transplantation between 2011 and 2022 were included.

This murine model study investigated a novel combination treatment for pleural mesothelioma using intracavitary cisplatin-fibrin gel (cis-fib) and adjuvant irradiation (IR). Conducted on an orthotopic immunocompetent rat model, the study demonstrates that the combination therapy significantly delayed tumor growth compared to single treatments.

This study evaluated outcomes in lung transplantation (LTx) using lungs from donation after brain death (DBD) vs. donation after circulatory death (DCD). After analyzing 21 studies with more than 60,000 patients, researchers found that early mortality was slightly higher in the DCD group (5.5 percent vs. 4.5 percent for DBD).

This study evaluates the outcomes of bilateral lung transplantation (LTx) using grafts from donors aged 70 years or older, compared with those from younger donors. Conducted at a single center in Leuven, Belgium, the retrospective cohort study included 69 older donors, matched 1:1 with younger donors based on key variables.

This year, thoracic and congenital submissions to CTSNet spanned a variety of fascinating procedures, from subaortic membrane resection and septal myectomy to emergency anterior bilateral thoracotomy. Read on for a quick overview of the most popular thoracic and congenital videos on CTSNet in 2024 and stay tuned for many more in 2025.
