Lung transplantation in young infants with interstitial pneumonia.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:We describe our experience with infants suffering from interstitial pneumonia referred for lung transplantation. METHODS:From April 1998 to December 2000, three infants were admitted to our lung transplantation program: a 9-month-old girl (patient 1) suffering from surfactant protein C deficiency who had high oxygen requirements (fraction of inspired oxygen: 70% to 90%), and two boys, ages 2 (patient 2) and 9 months (patient 3), who were ventilator-dependent due to chronic pneumonitis of infancy. RESULTS:Patients were transplanted at the age of 5 months (patient 2) and 13 months (patients 1 and 3) at 87 to 105 days after being accepted for lung transplantation. All cases underwent a sequential double lung transplant on cardiopulmonary bypass. The immunosuppressive regime included tacrolimus, prednisone, and azathioprine. Patients 2 and 3 also received basiliximab. Two cases suffered a mild rejection episode that responded to high-dose steroids. Patient 2 was ventilator-dependent for 8 months after transplant, owing to severe bronchomalacia and left main bronchus stenosis. Bronchial stenosis resolved after pneumatic dilatation and endobronchial stenting. This patient also presented with a pulmonary artery anastomosis stricture that required percutaneous balloon dilatation. All three patients are at home, carrying out normal activities for their age, with no respiratory symptoms after a period of 8 to 29 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS:Interstitial pneumonia of infancy is a rare disease with a bad prognosis and no specific treatment; therefore, lung transplantation represents a good therapeutic option for these infants.
