The ratio of blood flow in the transplanted and the native lungs in all patients studied was 2.8 +/- 0.83:
These differences in the volume and pattern of flow in the transplanted lung are most likely related to the relative resistance in the native and the transplanted lung and could constitute an additional index for monitoring the condition of patients with lung transplantation and help in the understanding of the physiology of the denervated pulmonary vascular bed.
