Survival benefit of cardiopulmonary bypass support in bilateral lung transplantation for emphysema patients.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The importance of HLA matching for renal transplantation outcomes has been appreciated for several decades. It has been hypothesized that as pharmacologic immunosuppression becomes stronger and more specific, the impact of HLA matching may be vanishing. Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) has been demonstrated to ...
