Lung transplantation following coronary artery bypass surgery—improved outcomes following single-lung transplant

Open access

Abstract

Background Prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been a contraindication to lung transplantation (LTx) because of disease severity and technical considerations. Although patients increasingly are being referred for and receiving LTx, whether it should remain a contraindication is unknown. We sought to define the prevalence of LTx after CABG and determine the effect on outcomes.Methods The United Network for Organ Sharing Standard Transplant Analysis and Research data set was queried during the period 2004-2013 for adult LTx patients, as prior CABG became a mandatory reporting field in 2004. The primary end-points were 30-day and 1-, 3-, and 5-year survivals.Results The study cohort included 14,791 patients, of whom 292 patients had previously undergone CABG (single left, n = 68; single right, n = 181; bilateral, n = 43), representing 2% of all transplants. For the entire cohort, 30-day survival was 97%, and survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was 88%, 79%, and 74%. CABG was a predictor of mortality at all time points, with hazard ratios ranging from 1.97 (confidence interval, 1.23-3.16; p < 0.01) at 30 days to 1.38 (confidence interval, 1.12-1.69; p < 0.01) at 5 years. When stratified by type of transplant, CABG strongly predicted mortality at all time points for patients receiving bilateral, but not single, transplants.Conclusions Although LTx after CABG is uncommon, it is increasingly performed in the current era. Single right LTx is the most common procedure performed in patients with prior CABG. CABG before LTx is an independent predictor of mortality at all time points and is driven by increased mortality in patients receiving bilateral LTx.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
