A2 - Williams, Marcia A2 - Adams, Ann PY - 2020 T2 - Sugarbaker’s Adult Chest Surgery, 3e AB - Lung transplantation has evolved greatly over the last decade. Improvements in donor management, recipient selection, donor and recipient surgical techniques, and postoperative management have resulted in a significant increase in the number of patients being considered for lung transplantation. This, in turn, has resulted in an expansion of both donor and recipient criteria. Consequently, the technical challenges of the surgical procedure and subsequent medical management of pulmonary allografts are becoming increasingly evident. These events can lead to significant morbidity and potential mortality if not managed in an appropriate and timely fashion. This chapter focuses on the common surgical complications of lung transplantation.
