Popis: Of 150 LTx performed, 59 patients (39.3%) had suppurative diseases, 29 (19.3%) were non-CF and 30 (20%) had CF. In non-CF group, mean age was 40.2 ± 12.6 years, male predominance (58.3%) and all bilateral. Pulmonary hypertension was present in 50%, but cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) used n 13.8%. None case of PGD3 was seen in this group. CF patients were younger (27.4 + 9.2 years), 53% males and almost all bilateral (97%). 30% had pulmonary hypertension, CPB used in 10% and 10% developed PGD3 . There were no difference in ventilation time, ICU and hospital stay. The survival rate at 1 and 5 years in CF was 92% and 77% and in non-CF was 84% and 75%. There was no difference according survival but these both groups showed better survival than other underlying diseases (p < 0.001). Conclusions Suppurative diseases are important source of patients for LTx in our program. The incidence of non-CF bronchiectasis is especially high corresponding to the forth indication. The survival rates of these both groups are excellent and comparable to other reports.
