AB Recipients  of  lung  transplantation  are  surviving  longer.  As  a  consequence,  complications  secondary  to  the  procedure  (surgical)  or  resulting  from  mandatory  lifelong  immunosuppression  (medical)  are  becoming  increasingly  evident.  These  events  can  lead  to  significant  morbidity  and  potential  mortality  if  not  managed  appropriately  and  in  a  timely  fashion.  This  chapter  focuses  on  the  common  surgical  complications  of  lung  transplantation.
