Early Career-Led Literature Review in Pulmonology
December 2025 Journal Watch explores topics in pulmonology. Issue editor Sirus Jesudasen, MD, gathers topics including:
- Gliptins and their associations with CLAD
- Poorer outcomes when cell-free DNA is present in EVLP perfusate
- How continuous distribution as an allocation strategy impacts lung transplant
- Connective tissue diseases and their impact after lung transplant
Journal Watch is a periodic publication presented by the ISHLT Early Career and Trainee Committee and is committed to engaging trainees. In service of this goal, this issue also features a bonus study—about thrombotic microangiopathy after lung transplant—that has been reviewed and presented by a medical student from the Washington University School of Medicine.
