Abstract

Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) technologies have been developed and, recently, high-speed and high-quality 3D-CT technologies have been introduced to the field of thoracic surgery. The purpose of this manuscript is to demonstrate the clinical application of 3D-CT technologies in lung transplantation. In Japan, because of the severe donor shortage, living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) is essential, in addition to cadaveric lung transplantation. In LDLLT, size matching is a grave issue, since ideal size matching between donor and recipient is usually difficult because of the limited population of potential donor. Size matching using pulmonary function test results has been widely used as a gold standard, but anatomical size matching using 3D-CT volumetry data has also been utilized in LDLLT. In donor lobectomy, 3D-CT images provided a variety of information regarding anatomical variation of pulmonary vessels and bronchial trees preoperatively. These images ensure surgical quality and safety, and they also affect surgical procedures for the recipient. 3D-CT images are also utilized in various aspects of postoperative care, such as detection of chronic lung allograft dysfunction and clarification of its subtypes. Furthermore, preoperative 3D-CT simulation is useful in developing and performing a special surgical procedure, such as right-to-left inverted LDLLT. In conclusion, following the introduction of 3D-CT to the field of thoracic surgery, various 3D-CT images and their application to preoperative simulations have been introduced in lung transplantation. In the near future, this technique will become more prevalent, and frequent use by thoracic surgeons will be seen worldwide in daily practice.
