Brief Summary

This is a prospective, monocentric, observational cohort study whose main objective is to describe the number and rate of patients who developed DSAs (Donor Specific Antibody) at 6 months post-surgery with implantation of a cryopreserved lung homograft.

Detailed Description

Lung homograft is used in a large number of complex malformations. It is accepted that homografts may induce immune reactions in the recipient, but no immunological studies have been carried out to characterize the recipient's immune reactions to the homograft and their potential impact on valve function. In this project, the authors propose to study the immunizing character of cryopreserved lung homografts by identifying the appearance of antibodies directed against the HLA, DSA (Donor Specific Antibodies) molecules of the graft (lung homograft) at 1 month and 6 months after its surgical implantation.The primary objective will be analyzed by describing the rate of patients who developed DSA at 6 months post-surgery with implantation of a cryopreserved lung homograft.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Detection of DSA at 6 months6 months

Luminex® detection of DSA at 6 months after lung homograft implantation

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Early degeneration of the homograft6 months

The early degeneration of the homograft will be defined by the occurrence of at least one of the following criteria:

* Need to replace lung homograft

* Need for dilatation during catheterization of lung homografts

* Maximum gradient across the lung homograft ≥ 30mmhg on echography at 6 months

* Pulmonary insufficiency ≥ moderate on echography at 6 months

antibody anti-HDLA (non DSA) detection6 months

Detection or non-detection of non-DSA anti-HLA antibodies will be assessed by Mean Fluorescence Intensity.

DSA Quantification6 months

DSA will be quantified in patients who developed DSA 6 months after lung homograft implantation
