Abstrakt: Objectives: Approximately 10% of lung transplant recipients have had previous cardiothoracic surgery. We sought to determine if previous surgery affects outcomes after lung transplant at a national level.
Methods: The United Network for Organ Sharing database was analysed from 2005 to 2019 to include adult patients who underwent lung transplant who had previous cardiac surgery and previous thoracic surgery. T-test and chi-squared analysis were used to compare perioperative outcomes. Long-term survival comparison was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method in an unadjusted and propensity-matched analysis.
Results: Out of 24 784 lung transplants, 691 (2.7%) had previous cardiac surgery and 1321 (6.5%) had previous thoracic surgery. Operative mortality was worse in previous cardiac surgery [42 (6.1%)] versus no previous cardiac surgery [740 (3.1%), P < 0.001] and in previous thoracic surgery [65 (4.9%)] versus no previous thoracic surgery [717 (3.1%), P < 0.001]. The previous thoracic surgery group had more primary graft failure and treated rejection during the first-year post-transplant. There was no difference in stroke, dialysis, intubation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at 72 h. Long-term survival was significantly worse for lung transplant patients who had undergone previous cardiac surgery (median 3.8 vs 6.3 years, P < 0.001) due to an increase in cardiovascular deaths (P = 0.008) and malignancy (P = 0.043). However, there was no difference in previous thoracic surgery (median 6.6 vs 6.1 years, P = 0.337).
Conclusions: Previous cardiac surgery prior to lung transplant results in worse survival related to cardiovascular death and malignancies. Previous thoracic surgery worsens perioperative outcomes but does not affect long-term survival.
