Smoking after cardiac transplantationP Botha
Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation, Freeman Hospital, High Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Am J Transplant 8:866-71. 2008..We hope that this information will deter cardiac transplant recipients from relapsing, and intensify efforts in improving cessation rates...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization of the allograft after lung transplantation and the risk of bronchiolitis obliterans syndromePhil Botha
Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Transplantation 85:771-4. 2008..We conclude that de novo colonization of the lung allograft by Pseudomonas is strongly associated with the subsequent development of BOS...

Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
J Heart Lung Transplant 28:676-82. 2009..We contrasted the acute hemodynamic responses to intravenous PDE3 and PDE5 inhibitors in patients with congestive cardiac failure to assess their relative suitability for reversibility testing in this setting...
Sildenafil citrate augments myocardial protection in heart transplantationPhil Botha
Institute of Cellular Medicine, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Transplantation 89:169-77. 2010..Whether these effects could be used to enhance myocardial protection afforded by crystalloid cardioplegia, volatile anesthesia and hypothermia during cardiac transplantation remains to be established...
Inhaled nitric oxide for modulation of ischemia-reperfusion injury in lung transplantationPhil Botha
Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation, Freeman Hospital, High Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
J Heart Lung Transplant 26:1199-205. 2007..We sought to assess the efficacy of NO in reducing neutrophil infiltration and associated injury if administered from the very onset of reperfusion in clinical lung transplantation...
Marginal lung donors: A diminishing margin of safety?Phil Botha
Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Transplantation 82:1273-9. 2006..We review the current literature focusing on recent developments in the pursuit of an expanded lung donor pool with acceptable outcomes...
Differential pulmonary vein gases predict primary graft dysfunctionPhil Botha

Department of Cardio Pulmonary Transplantation, Freeman Hospital, High Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 131:1154-60. 2006..None have evaluated how outcomes compare with the use of these organs for single and bilateral transplantation or whether this practice results in a higher incidence of early bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome...
Extended donor criteria in lung transplantationPhil Botha
Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Curr Opin Organ Transplant 14:206-10. 2009..Improved use of the available pool of cadaveric organ donors, therefore, represents one of few immediately available strategies to alleviate organ shortages...

Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 20:143-51. 2008..Algorithms based on this knowledge can be proposed with some confidence, but proving their clinical worth is a challenge for the future...
Is CFTR-delF508 really absent from the apical membrane of the airway epithelium?Lee A Borthwick
Institute of Cellular Medicine, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 6:e23226. 2011..By sampling CF and non-CF epithelium simultaneously from the same individual, confounding factors of different airway microenvironments which may have influenced previous observations can be overcome...
