Long-term survival and clinical outcomes of delayed chest closure following lung transplantation

© 2024. The Author(s)..

PURPOSES: Delayed chest closure (DCC) is a widely accepted procedure in the context of lung transplantation (LTx); yet there are few reports detailing its long-term survival and clinical outcomes.

METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of recipients who underwent deceased-donor lung transplantation (LTx) at Tohoku University Hospital. Long-term survival, including overall survival, freedom from chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), and CLAD-free survival and the clinical outcomes of graft function and physical performance and constitution were reviewed in recipients with DCC.

RESULTS: Between 2009 and 2022, 116 patients underwent LTx, 33 of whom (28.4%) required DCC. The intra-and post-operative courses of the recipients who required DCC were more complicated than those of the recipients who underwent primary chest closure (PCC), with frequent volume reduction surgery and longer periods of invasive mechanical ventilation. Pulmonary vascular disease was considered a risk factor for these complications and DCC. Nonetheless, long-term survival and graft functions were comparable between the DCC and PCC groups. The physical performance and constitution of recipients who required DCC continued to improve, and by 2 years after transplantation, exhibited almost no difference from those who underwent PCC.

CONCLUSIONS: In view of the profoundly complicated intra- and post-operative courses, DCC should be performed cautiously and only when clinically indicated, despite which it can result in equivalent long-term survival and acceptable outcomes to PCC.
