Abstract

The article discusses the efficacy of dose-reduced glecaprevir-pibrentasvir in lung transplant recipients on maintenance cyclosporine from donors with hepatitis C viremia. It highlights the successful treatment of two lung transplant recipients with HCV viremic donors using glecaprevir-pibrentasvir while on cyclosporine maintenance immunosuppression. The study emphasizes the importance of utilizing dose-reduced GLE-PIB to effectively treat HCV infection transmitted by donors in lung transplantation, providing a flexible and individualized approach to post-operative care. The collaborative effort of various specialists is crucial for the success of such treatment strategies in expanding the donor pool and increasing transplantation accessibility.
