A surgical team at Royal Papworth Hospital has carried out the UK’s first lung transplant using a new machine which ‘reconditions’ donor organs. The team, led by Mr Marius Berman, Mr Giuseppe Aresu and Mr pradeep kaul used a technique called ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP). This takes donated lungs which are initially considered marginally acceptable or marginally unacceptable for transplant, reconditions them outside the body in a special machine - the XPS system from XVIVO - and can make them suitable for donation. Daniel Evans-Smith (49) became the first person in the UK outside of clinical trials to receive a double-lung transplant using this new machine, which could improve the number of lungs available for donation and benefit more patients currently waiting for a lifesaving lung transplant. Dr Jas Parmar, Transplant Consultant at Royal Papworth and also Chair of Cardiothoracic Advisory Group (Lungs) said: "We are delighted to be able to offer this opportunity to these very ill patients in need of lung transplantation. "We have only been able to do this with the support that we have enjoyed from our trust, NHS England, NHS Blood and Transplant and of course all donor families without whom this work would be impossible. We are always indebted to their selfless act of organ donation.” After rehab in critical care and then on our surgical ward, Daniel recently returned home to Northampton. He said: "I can’t thank my donor and their family enough. Even in this short period of time after transplantation, my life has improved from where I was this time last year.” #Surgery #EVLP #LungTransplant #Transplant #RoyalPapworth #NHS

Pulmonology on Air on behalf of Erbe Bronchoscopy: Let’s revisit the live case from Zurich, presented during Pulmonology On Air 2024. Drs Carolin Steinack and Thomas Gaisl used Ion robotic bronchoscopy and cone-beam CT (CBCT) to diagnose two peripheral lung lesions near the pleura.   Key highlights of the procedure: ✅ Procedure under 30 minutes. ✅ Successful targeting of lesions without a bronchus sign. ✅ Cryobiopsy was performed with a 1.1 mm cryoprobe for histological analysis.   This case demonstrates the potential of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy in pulmonary diagnostics. As technology continues to evolve, we’re confident that this approach will play a growing role in the future of interventional pulmonology.   👉 Missed the live case?

🌟 Introducing Iriscope: Deep lung characterized for the first time ever ! 🫁 Poster presented in the World Congress of Bronchoscopy and Interventional Pulmonology in November 2024 in Bali. For the first time, Iriscope enables physicians to observe and categorize peripheral pulmonary lesions, enhancing diagnostic precision and avoiding delays in repeated procedures thanks to visual diagnosis. Unique patterns like white plaque, obstruction, and compression visualized with Iriscope are strongly associated with malignancy. Zero adverse events linked to the device, ensuring safety. 🤝 A heartfelt thanks to the incredible collaboration of teams from Dimitri LEDUC, Benjamin Bondue, Olivier Taton, Ana Rodriguez (Brussels), for coordinating these results with Toulouse and Madrid's teams. 🔗 Let’s discuss how Iriscope can enhance outcomes for your patients.

Pulmonology on Air on behalf of Erbe Bronchoscopy: A closer look at the innovative techniques from Japan’s live case at Pulmonology On Air 2024.   Drs Toshiyuki Nakai and Yuji Matsumoto demonstrated the 2-scope method, combining a therapeutic bronchoscope with a radial EBUS probe for precise localization of peripheral pulmonary lesions. Tissue sampling was performed using a 1.7 mm cryoprobe, ensuring faster freezing times of just 3 seconds and yielding large, high-quality biopsy samples.   👉 Missed this session?

🚨 Mediastinal Cryobiopsy: Another Game Changer in Interventional Pulmonology 🚨 We’re excited to share results from our multi-center 👨⚕️ Swiss study showing that mediastinal cryobiopsy significantly boosts diagnostic yield e.g. for sarcoidosis (41% → 93%) and lymphomas (46% → 92%) compared to EBUS-TBNA, making invasive mediastinoscopy largely unnecessary. Why mediastinal cryobiopsy? ✅ Higher diagnostic accuracy ✅ Safe and effective, even in sedated patients ✅A technique every interventional pulmonologist should master At the Universitätsspital Zürich, we’ve been performing mediastinal cryobiopsies since 2021. This innovation has significantly enhanced patient outcomes and transformed our clinical practice. 👉 Here is the full link to the article: https://lnkd.in/eb_xW-TS A huge thank you to the teams at Universitätsspital Zürich (Melanie Mangold, Carolin Steinack, Maurice Roeder, Silvan Manuel Vesenbeckh, Ulrich Silvia), Kantonsspital Winterthur (Jürgen Hetzel), Kantonsspital Graubünden (Tsogyal Latshang), and Spital Uster (Daniel Prof. Dr. med Franzen, MD, MHBA, FCCP) for their outstanding collaboration and commitment to advancing patient care. #InterventionalPulmonology #Cryobiopsy #Teamwork #Innovation #PatientCare Erbe Group
