RESUMEN
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) is a very rare autoinflammatory disease related to STING1 mutation. SAVI is mainly characterized by fever attacks and skin and respiratory manifestations such as interstitial lung disease or alveolar hemorrhage. Respiratory involvement occurs in 80% of cases and might progress to severe lung fibrosis and require lung transplantation (LT). Three patients with SAVI who underwent LT have been reported to date. Two of the three patients died months or years after LT due to multiple organ failure or sepsis. However, the diagnosis of SAVI was made after LT, thus preventing the use of targeted therapy, such as the Janus kinase 1 and 2 inhibitor (JAK1/2i) ruxolitinib, which might be beneficial for the respiratory status of these patients. We aimed to report our experience in managing three patients who were followed in three large lung transplantation centers in France and who benefited from ruxolitinib before undergoing LT. We describe posttransplant complications that occurred as well as outcomes.
