Abstract

Living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) has been successfully performed in Japan. In LDLLT, the recipient usually receives one lower lobe from each of two donors; however, finding two ABO-matched donors is often difficult. Solid organ transplants from donors with minor ABO-mismatches can be complicated by hemolysis. We investigated the incidence of de novo anti-ABO antibody production and hemolysis in patients receiving LDLLT across minor ABO-mismatches.
