| postperfusion lung | <cardiology, chest medicine> A condition in which abnormal pulmonary function develops in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery involving the use of an extracorporeal circulation; now rare due to advances in perfusion technique and equipment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cystic adenomatoid malformation of lung | <radiology> Only true pulmonary cystic disease of newborn, three X-ray types: multicystic, walls of varying thickness, multicystic, one large dominant thin-walled cyst, solid, mediastinal shift common, cysts often contain foetal lung fluid, Treatment: surgery Cf: congenital lobar emphysema (12 Dec 1998) |
| cystic adenomatoid malformation of lung, congenital | A developmental anomaly that usually becomes apparent in the neonatal period with progressive respiratory distress. This malformation is a focal pulmonary dysplasia characterised by a multicystic mass of terminal bronchiolar structures. Ccam is classified into 3 separate types (I, II, III) depending on cyst size.

| heart and lung transplant | A surgical procedure which replaces a diseased heart and lungs with a healthy heart and lungs from a donor. They have been used in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension and isolated severe heart and lung disease. They are not recommended for those with associated systemic disorders such as diabetes or autoimmune illness. Those with liver and/or kidney disease are also not candidates. Long-term outcomes are still being studied. (27 Sep 1997) |
