Severe pulmonary vascular change in patients dying with right ventricular failure after heart transplantation

P S Hasleton et al. Thorax. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

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.
