The Effect of Cold Storage Solutions on Ischemic Injury in Lung Transplantation
- Conditions
- Lung Transplant Recipients
- Registration Number
- NCT00284726
- Lead Sponsor
- Johns Hopkins University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare 2 different cold storage solutions, used to preserve donor lungs for lung transplantation, and their effect on cytokine activation related to ischemic reperfusion injury. Primary endpoint is 30 day survival.
- Detailed Description
The length of ischemic time in harvesting lung allografts is associated with graft survival. It is further thought that ischemic changes in early post-transplantation bronchoscopic biopsies has a direct correlation with later development of chronic rejection.
