Lung retransplantation (LR) is a valid choice with a significant risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality in selected patients with graft dysfunction after lung transplantation. Our goal is to analyse our experience in LR in terms of survival and lung function. ⋯ LR is a high mortality procedure that requires careful selection of patients with better results in patients with CLAD. The lung function of patients with CLAD improved significantly.

The CardioMEMS device is inserted into the pulmonary artery and allows monitorization of pulmonary artery pressure in heart failure patients. Previous studies have shown a reduction in hospitalizations for heart failure and an improvement in quality of life in the group of patients monitored with the device. ⋯ Wireless pulmonary artery pressure monitoring will probably become an essential component in the management of selected HF patients.
