ABSTRACT
The role of surveillance bronchoscopy after lung transplantation. Lung transplantation is currently accepted as a potential treatment for end-stage respiratory diseases. That said, airway complications and the onset of chronic lung allograft dysfunction remain major causes of morbidity and mortality subsequent to lung transplantation and a significant obstacle to long-term survival. In this article, we discuss the advantages and limitations of bronchial endoscopy in post-lung transplant monitoring.
