Presented at the Thirty-fifth Annual Meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, San Antonio, TX, Jan 25–27, 1999.

Background. Long-term survival in lung transplant is limited by bronchiolitis obliterans (BOS). We compared outcomes in pediatric living donor bilateral lobar (LL) vs cadaveric lung transplant (CL).

Methods. Children were studied who had LL or CL with at least 1 year follow-up. Data collected included acute rejection episodes, pulmonary function tests (PFT), BOS, and survival. Mean age was 13.36 ± 3.16 years in LL and 12.00 ± 4.19 years in CL patients (p = 0.37, ns).

Results. There was no difference in rejection (p = 0.41, ns). CL had rejection earlier (2.48 ± 3.84 months) than LL (13.60 ± 10.74 months; p = 0.02). There was no difference in 12 month PFT. But at 24 months, LL had greater forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (p = 0.001) and FEF25–75% (p = 0.01) than CL. BOS was found in 0/14 LL vs 9/11 (82%) CL after 1 year (p = 0.04). After 2 years, 0/8 LL and 6/7 (86%) CL had BOS (p < 0.05). LL had 85% survival vs 79% for CL at 12 months. At 24 months, LL survival was 77% vs 67% for CL.

Conclusions. Pediatric LL had less BOS and better pulmonary function than CL. As BOS is a determinant of long-term outcome, we believe LL is the preferred lung transplant method for children.
