Abstract

Bronchial anastomotic complication related to ischemia is one of the major morbidity after lung transplantation. Early detection and optimum management for the anastomotic site could reduce the risk of late bronchial stenosis. AFI bronchoscopy has been increasingly recognized as an effective device to detect abnormal mucosal thickening. The aim of this study is to investigate whether AFI bronchoscopy can facilitate the detection of airway ischemic damage in lung transplant patients.
