Résumé

Cold ex situ lung perfusion (ESLP) has demonstrated improved preservation in small animal ESLP compared to normothermic ESLP and cold static preservation. We hypothesized that cold negative pressure ventilation (NPV)-ESLP would improve graft function in a porcine transplantation model. Four perfusate temperatures were examined with 12 hours NPV-ESLP in a large animal transplantation model. Pig lungs were allotted to four groups: (1) Normothermia (38°C, n = 6); (2) profound hypothermia (10°C, n = 6); (3) moderate hypothermia (20°C, n = 3); (4) subnormothermia (32°C, n = 3). A fifth group subnormothermic low-flow (SNLF) perfusion was examined to assess the effect of reduced cardiac output with cold perfusion (32°C, 10% cardiac output, n = 6). Only Normothermic and SNLF groups demonstrated acceptable oxygenation after 12 hours NPV-ESLP and were transplanted. All other groups failed prematurely. After 12 hours of ESLP, Normothermic lungs demonstrated significantly greater dynamic compliance compared to SNLF lungs (P = .03). Edema formation post-ESLP was significantly worse in the SNLF group (P = .01). There was no significant difference in pulmonary artery pressures after ESLP (P = .10); however, pulmonary vascular resistance was significantly greater in the SNLF (P = .04). Isolated left lung oxygenation 4-hours post-transplant and left lung edema formation was not significantly different between Normothermic and SNLF post-transplant (P = .09). Proinflammatory cytokines were significantly greater during SNLF-ESLP (tumor necrosis factor alpha, P < .05). Prolonged normothermic (38°C) NPV-ESLP is superior to 10, 20, and 32°C perfusion. Normothermic ESLP of porcine lungs results in superior graft function and reduced inflammation versus SNLF-ESLP.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Cold ex situ lung perfusion (ESLP) has demonstrated improved preservation in small animal ESLP compared to normothermic ESLP and cold static preservation. We hypothesized that cold negative pressure ventilation (NPV)-ESLP would improve graft function in a porcine transplantation model.
METHODS METHODS
Four perfusate temperatures were examined with 12 hours NPV-ESLP in a large animal transplantation model. Pig lungs were allotted to four groups: (1) Normothermia (38°C, n = 6); (2) profound hypothermia (10°C, n = 6); (3) moderate hypothermia (20°C, n = 3); (4) subnormothermia (32°C, n = 3). A fifth group subnormothermic low-flow (SNLF) perfusion was examined to assess the effect of reduced cardiac output with cold perfusion (32°C, 10% cardiac output, n = 6).
RESULTS RESULTS
Only Normothermic and SNLF groups demonstrated acceptable oxygenation after 12 hours NPV-ESLP and were transplanted. All other groups failed prematurely. After 12 hours of ESLP, Normothermic lungs demonstrated significantly greater dynamic compliance compared to SNLF lungs (P = .03). Edema formation post-ESLP was significantly worse in the SNLF group (P = .01). There was no significant difference in pulmonary artery pressures after ESLP (P = .10); however, pulmonary vascular resistance was significantly greater in the SNLF (P = .04). Isolated left lung oxygenation 4-hours post-transplant and left lung edema formation was not significantly different between Normothermic and SNLF post-transplant (P = .09). Proinflammatory cytokines were significantly greater during SNLF-ESLP (tumor necrosis factor alpha, P < .05).
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Prolonged normothermic (38°C) NPV-ESLP is superior to 10, 20, and 32°C perfusion. Normothermic ESLP of porcine lungs results in superior graft function and reduced inflammation versus SNLF-ESLP.
