Abstract

Lung perfusion scintigraphy (LPS) with 99mTc-MAA gives valuable information about patients who will undergo a single lung transplantation. This technique makes it possible to evaluate and quantify the relative function of both lungs to select the organ to be transplanted. Once the surgery has been performed, the LPS represents a diagnostic method to study the status of the transplanted organ. Two patients who underwent single lung transplantation were studied in our hospital. In both cases, a pre-operative LPS was performed before surgery for selection of the organ to be transplanted and the scintigraphy study was performed a few months after transplantation to establish the perfusion function of the transplanted lung.

Resumen

La gammagrafía de perfusión pulmonar con 99mTc-MAA ofrece una valiosa información de los pacien-tes que van a someterse a trasplante de pulmón único. El empleo de esta técnica nos permite evaluar y cuantificar la función relativa de ambos pulmones para seleccionar el órgano a trasplantar. Una vez que se ha realizado la cirugía, la gammagrafía de perfusión pulmonar representa un método diagnóstico para evaluar la evolución del órgano trasplantado. Dos pacientes que fueron sometidos a este procedimiento quirúrgico fueron estudiados en nuestro hospital. En ambos se realizó gammagrafía de perfusión pulmo-nar preoperatoria para la selección del órgano a trasplantar, y meses después de la cirugía se realizó el estudio gammagráfico para la evaluación de la función de perfusión del órgano trasplantado.
