What is Prior and Perioperative Revascularization Does Not Affect Survival in Lung Transplant Patients about?

## Background: Coronary artery disease is common in lung transplant patients and has historically been viewed as a contraindication to the procedure. although this mindset is changing, the effect of prior or perioperative revascularization on lung transplant survival outcomes is not adequately established. ## Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective analysis of all single and double lung transplant patients from 2012 to 2018 (n = 468). patients were split into 4 groups: (1) patients who received a preoperative percutaneous coronary intervention (n = 34), (2) those who received coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) before transplantation (n = 25), (3) those that received concomitant cabg during transplantation (n = 29), and (4) those who had lung transplantation with no need for revascularization (n = 380). groups were compared for demographics, surgical procedure, and survival outcomes. ## Results: The no-revascularization group was statistically younger than the rest (p = .001). the lung allocation score trended toward being higher in the concomitant coronary artery bypass group (p = .03). all groups were predominantly diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. the
