    Abstract Surgical resection is still the standard treatment for early-stage lung cancer. A multimodal treatment consisting of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and/or immunotherapy is advised for more advanced disease stages (stages IIb, III and IV). The role of surgery in these stages is limited to very specific indications. Regional treatment techniques are being introduced at a high speed because of improved technology and their possible advantages over traditional surgery. This review includes an overview of established and promising innovative invasive loco-regional techniques stratified based on the route of administration, including endobronchial, endovascular and transthoracic routes, a discussion of the results for each method, and an overview of their implementation and effectiveness.

    Abstract Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) and pulmonary vein occlusion (PVO) represent rare complications after lung transplantation (LTx), with limited therapeutic options and a high risk of graft loss. We present 2 cases of successful endovascular transatrial stenting following double LTx. A 60-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who underwent double lobar LTx was diagnosed at postoperative day 72 with a high-grade PVS on the left side. A 22-year-old woman with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension who underwent double LTx was diagnosed 9 days later with PVO of the left upper lobe vein. To avoid surgical reintervention, endovascular transatrial dilatation and stenting were performed successfully in both cases. Transatrial endovascular stenting of PVS or PVO after LTx seems an effective and safe treatment option that should be considered for these life-threatening complications and executed with care.

    Abstract Objectives: Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is an established therapeutic option for advanced emphysema. To improve patients' safety and reduce complications, an enhanced recovery protocol (ERP) was implemented. This study aims to describe and evaluate the short-term outcome of this ERP.
    Methods: This retrospective single-centre study included all consecutive LVRS patients (1 January 2017 until 15 September 2020). An ERP for LVRS was implemented and stepwise optimised from 1 August 2019, it consisted of changes in pre-, peri- and postoperative care pathways. Patients were compared before and after implementation of ERP. Primary outcome was incidence of postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo), and secondary outcomes included chest tube duration, incidence of prolonged air leak (PAL), length of stay (LOS) and 90-day mortality. Lung function and exercise capacity were evaluated at 3 and 6 months post-LVRS.
    Results: Seventy-six LVRS patients were included (pre-ERP: n=41, ERP: n=35). The ERP cohort presented with lower incidence of postoperative complications (42% vs 83%, P=0.0002), shorter chest tube duration (4 vs 12 days, P<0.0001) with a lower incidence of PAL (21% vs 61%, P=0.0005) and shorter LOS (6 vs 14 days, P<0.0001). No in-hospital mortality occurred in the ERP cohort versus 4 pre-ERP. Postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 s was higher in the ERP cohort compared to pre-ERP at 3 months (1.35 vs 1.02 l) and at 6 months (1.31 vs 1.01 l).
    Conclusions: Implementation of ERP as part of a comprehensive reconceptualisation towards LVRS, demonstrated fewer postoperative complications, including PAL, resulting in reduced LOS. Improved short-term functional outcomes were observed at 3 and 6 months.

    Abstract Background: Lung re-transplantation (re-LTx) is the only therapeutic option for selected patients with advanced allograft dysfunction. This study aims to describe our center's experience to illustrate the feasibility and safety of off-pump re-LTx avoiding clamshell incision.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 42 patients who underwent bilateral re-LTx between 2007 and 2021. Patients were classified according to their surgical approach and extracorporeal life support (ECLS)-use. Demographics, surgical technique, and short- and long-term outcomes were compared between groups. Continuous data were examined with an independent-sample
    Results: Twenty-six patients (61.9%) underwent re-LTx by anterior thoracotomy without ECLS. Compared to the more invasive approach (thoracotomy with ECLS and clamshell with/without ECLS, n=16, 38.1%), clamshell-avoiding off-pump re-LTx patients had a shorter operative time (471.6±111.2
    Conclusions: Our experience shows that clamshell-avoiding off-pump re-LTx is feasible and safe in selected patients on a case-by-case evaluation.

    Abstract Lung transplantation (LTx) is a challenging procedure. Following the process of ischemia-reperfusion injury, the transplanted pulmonary graft might become severely damaged, resulting in primary graft dysfunction. In addition, during the intraoperative window, the right ventricle (RV) is at risk of acute failure. The interaction of right ventricular function with lung injury is, however, poorly understood. We aimed to address this interaction in a translational porcine model of pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury. Advanced pulmonary and hemodynamic assessment was used, including right ventricular pressure-volume loop analysis. The acute model was based on clamping and unclamping of the left lung hilus, respecting the different hemodynamic phases of a clinical lung transplantation. We found that forcing entire right ventricular cardiac output through a lung suffering from ischemia-reperfusion injury increased afterload (pulmonary vascular resistance from baseline to end experiment

    Abstract Background: Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) after lung transplantation is characterized by fibrotic small airway remodeling, recognizable on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). We studied the prognostic value of key HRCT features at BOS diagnosis after lung transplantation.
    Methods: The presence and severity of bronchiectasis, mucous plugging, peribronchial thickening, parenchymal anomalies, and air trapping, summarized in a total severity score, were assessed using a simplified Brody II scoring system on HRCT at BOS diagnosis, in a cohort of 106 bilateral lung transplant recipients transplanted between January 2004 and January 2016. Obtained scores were subsequently evaluated regarding post-BOS graft survival, spirometric parameters, and preceding airway infections.
    Results: A high total Brody II severity score at BOS diagnosis (P = 0.046) and high subscores for mucous plugging (P = 0.0018), peribronchial thickening (P = 0.0004), or parenchymal involvement (P = 0.0121) are related to worse graft survival. A high total Brody II score was associated with a shorter time to BOS onset (P = 0.0058), lower forced expiratory volume in 1 s (P = 0.0006) forced vital capacity (0.0418), more preceding airway infections (P = 0.004), specifically with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P = 0.002), and increased airway inflammation (P = 0.032).
    Conclusions: HRCT findings at BOS diagnosis after lung transplantation provide additional information regarding its underlying pathophysiology and for future prognosis of graft survival.

    Abstract Background: Assessment and selection of donor lungs remains largely subjective and experience based. Criteria to accept or decline lungs are poorly standardized and are not compliant with the current donor pool. Using ex vivo CT images, we investigated the use of a CT-based machine learning algorithm for screening donor lungs prior to transplantation.
    Methods: Clinical measures and ex-situ CT scans were collected from 100 cases as part of a prospective clinical trial. Following procurement, donor lungs were inflated, placed on ice according to routine clinical practice, and imaged using a clinical CT scanner prior to transplantation while stored in the icebox. We trained and tested a supervised machine learning method called
    Results: Of the 100 lung pairs donated, 70 were considered acceptable for transplantation (based on standard clinical assessment) prior to CT screening and were consequently implanted. The remaining 30 pairs were screened but not transplanted. Our machine learning algorithm was able to detect pulmonary abnormalities on the CT scans. Among the patients who received donor lungs, our algorithm identified recipients who had extended stays in the ICU and were at 19 times higher risk of developing CLAD within 2 years post-transplant.
    Conclusions: We have created a strategy to ex vivo screen donor lungs using a CT-based machine learning algorithm. As the use of suboptimal donor lungs rises, it is important to have in place objective techniques that will assist physicians in accurately screening donor lungs to identify recipients most at risk of post-transplant complications.
