CM-5 Current Status of Lung Transplantation Long term survival—50% die by 5 years Bronchiolitis obliterans (chronic rejection)— primary cause of poor survival Future of lung transplantation is prevent bronchiolitis obliterans

CM-10 Clinical Manifestations of Chronic Rejection Two methods for the diagnosis of chronic rejection –Histologically through transbronchial biopsy (OB) –Clinically through sustained decline in pulmonary function (Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome, BOS) –OB and BOS are histologic and clinical manifestations of the same process Patients develop progressive shortness of breath, graft failure, airflow obstruction, recurrent pulmonary infections Once chronic rejection develops, airway damage is progressive and irreversible –Patients die of graft failure/pneumonia
CM-11 Causes of Death Following Lung Transplantation
CM-12 Despite Best Current Systemic Treatment and Patient Management, Chronic Rejection Eventually Affects Most Patients Years from transplant Calcineurin inhibitors Anti-metabolitesPrednisone CsA Tac AZA MMF % of patients Plus induction, plus pulsed intensifications prn Source: ISHLT, market research Despite best available therapy % chronic rejection-free survival
CM-13 New Concept: Avoid Increasing Systemic Immunosuppression Infection GERD Others Infection GERD Others Immune activation Immune activation Increase systemic immune suppression Increase systemic immune suppression BOS Non Nonalloimmunefactors:
CM-14 Epithelial injury Inflammation Fibroblastic repair Pathway to Chronic Rejection Non-alloimmune stimuli Airway ischemia Viruses Bacterial - PSEUDOMONAS Oxidant stress Reflux Alloimmune stimuli Recurrent acute vascular rejection Lymphocytic bronchitis
CM-15 Lymphocytic Bronchitis/Bronchiolitis
CM-16 Acute Rejection Acute rejection is a perivascular process diagnosed by transbronchial biopsy
CM-17 Separate Interventions for Separate Processes Systemic immunosuppression rejection and ongoing injury, inflammation and fibrosis ending in bronchiolitis obliterans Systemic administration to avert vascular rejection, halting lymphocytic recruitment and activation
