Does prostacyclin analog OP2507 prevent pulmonary arterial and airway constriction during lung preservation and reperfusion?
Pretreatment with OP2507 prevented pulmonary artery and airway constriction after 12 hours of cold lung preservation and a decrease of oxygen tension in outflow blood during a 60-minute reperfusion period.
Initial compact lipiodol uptake after transarterial chemoembolisation is associated with improved survival in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Accordingly, initial complete lipiodolisation should be considered a relevant therapeutic target.
