Severe pulmonary vascular change in patients dying with right ventricular failure after heart transplantation.
AUTOR(ES)
Hasleton, P S
RESUMO
Two patients died following heart transplantation from failure of the donor right ventricle. Histological examination of the lungs showed occlusion of pulmonary veins. A more reliable method is required to predict the outcome for potential heart transplant recipients with a "borderline" pulmonary vascular resistance.
