Listed Research Project
Pediatric Implantable Artificial Lung

The diverse group of conditions described as chronic lung disease in infants and children is a serious problem. Recovery by growth and remodeling occurs but is limited by impaired gas exchange and pulmonary hypertension. Lung transplantation is the only definitive treatment, and is feasible but rarely practiced. One of the major limitations i the lack of an artificial lung bridge to recovery or transplantation. ECMO is effective for acute respiratory failure but, because of complexity, is not applicable to chronic respiratory failure in children. Over the last decade we developed the technique of pulmonary artery to left atrium (PA-LA) attachment of an implantable artificial lung. This technique is now used successfully as a bridge to recovery in acute lung disease or transplantation in chronic lung disease in adults. The goal of the proposed research is to develop implantable artificial lung technology for children which can serve as a bridge to recovery or transplantation.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
