[Lung transplantation for treatment of pulmonary cystic fibrosis: report of one case].
A right single lung transplantation was performed in a 17-year-old female patient with end-stage cystoid pulmonary fibrosis and without cardiopulmonary bypass in June 2003. The donor lung was perfused with cold UW solution with a cold ischemic time of 280 min. The patient weaned from ventilator on the next day of operation (18 h later) and was able to walk at the fourth day postoperatively. Immunosuppression included methylprednisolone used before FK 506, mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone dosed after operation. The patient remains well a month after operation with significant improvement of the lung function and enjoys normal life.
