We evaluated long-term associations of the use of self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) with lung function tests, patient safety, and survival.  A retrospective chart review of 582 lung transplantations performed at our institution between January 2002 and January 2018. Fifty-four patients with SEMSs (intervention group) were matched one-to-one to patients without SEMSs (control group) using propensity score matching for age, sex, the year, and type of transplantation (unilateral/bilateral), and underlying disease. Data regarding long-term lung function and survival were compared between the groups.  During a median follow-up of 54.8 months, the difference in survival between the study groups was not statistically significant (  = 0.2). Following 5, 7.5 and 10 years, values of mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) were comparable between patients with and without SEMSs as follows 59.5 versus 62.6% (  = 0.2), 55.9 vec follow-up and maintenance.  The study aimed to evaluate the effects of inhaled iloprost on oxygenation indices in neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).  We conducted a retrospective chart review of 30 patients with PPHN from January 2014 to November 2018, who did not respond to inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) alone and received inhaled iloprost. Twenty-two patients met the inclusion criteria and eight patients were excluded from the study (complex cardiac disease and extreme prematurity). Patients were categorized as responders or nonresponders (patients who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or died). Oxygenation index, mean airway pressure (MAP), and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO ) were recorded.  Among a total of 22 patients who were included in the study, 10 were classified as nonresponders as they required either extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or di
