Abstrakt: |
We report on a case of intentional blood group incompatible lung transplantation. A blood group O cystic fibrosis patient was mechanically ventilated and put on interventional lung assist for severe respiratory decompensation. Since timely allocation of a blood group O donor lung was impossible, an AB deceased donor lung rescue allocation was accepted and the transplant performed using a pre‐, peri‐ and postoperative antibody depletion protocol including plasmapheresis, ivIg administration, rituximab and immunoadsorption. Nine months after the transplant the patient is at home and well. |
