Complications of lung transplantation: radiologic findings

JG Murray, HP McAdams, JJ Erasmus, EF Patz Jr and V Tapson
Department of Radiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA.

The first clinically successful lung transplantation was performed in 1983. Since that time, more than 2700 transplants have been recorded by the International Lung Transplant Registry [1]. Lung transplantation is currently limited to patients with endstage lung disease and a life expectancy of less than 18 months [1]. Unilateral lung transplantation is the most commonly performed procedure. Bilateral transplantation generally is reserved for patients with pulmonary sepsis. One-year survival after transplantation is currently 80-90%, and 5-year survival is estimated at 50% [1]. Early detection and treatment of the complications of lung transplantation are critical to decrease patient morbidity and mortality [2-4]. This article reviews the radiologic findings of the most common complications of lung transplantation, using our experience with 85 patients.
