Abstrakt: OBJECTIVES Historically, the perfusion-guided sequence suggests to first transplant the side with lowest lung perfusion. This sequence is thought to limit right ventricular afterload and prevent acute heart failure after first pneumonectomy. As a paradigm shift, we adopted the right-first implantation sequence, irrespective of lung perfusion. The right donor lung generally accommodates a larger proportion of the cardiac output. We hypothesized that the right-first sequence reduces the likelihood of oedema formation in the firstly transplanted graft during second-lung implantation. Our objective was to compare the perfusion-guided and right-first sequence for intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) need and primary graft dysfunction (PGD). METHODS A retrospective single-centre cohort study (2008–2021) including double-lung transplant cases (N  = 696) started without ECMO was performed. Primary end-points were intraoperative ECMO cannulation and PGD grade 3 (PGD3) at 72 h. Secondary end-points were patient and chronic lung allograft dysfunction-free survival. In cases with native left lung perfusion ≤50% propensity score adjusted comparison of the perfusion-guided and right-first sequence was performed. RESULTS When left lung perfusion was ≤50%, right-first implantation was done in 219 and left-first in 189 cases. Intraoperative escalation to ECMO support was observed in 10.96% of right-first versus 19.05% of left-first cases (odds ratio 0.448; 95% confidence interval 0.229–0.0.878; P  = 0.0193). PGD3 at 72 h was observed in 8.02% of right-first versus 15.64% of left-first cases (0.566; 0.263–1.217; P  = 0.1452). Right-first implantation did not affect patient or chronic lung allograft dysfunction-free survival. CONCLUSIONS The right-first implantation sequence in off-pump double-lung transplantation reduces need for intraoperative ECMO cannulation with a trend towards less PGD grade 3.
