Case Report: Lung transplantation for rare anti-MDA5–positive rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease: two cases and a narrative review

DM) with RP-ILD, our observations-together with prior reports-support lung transplantation, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge when necessary, as a promising and reliable therapeutic strategy. Lung transplantation may offer definitive treatment in carefully selected patients, underscoring its important clinical value.

Abstract

DM) with RP-ILD, our observations-together with prior reports-support lung transplantation, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge when necessary, as a promising and reliable therapeutic strategy. Lung transplantation may offer definitive treatment in carefully selected patients, underscoring its important clinical value.
