Complications of lung transplantation on computed tomography: pictorial essay

Abstract Lung transplantation is becoming increasingly more common as an alternative treatment for end-stage lung disease. Despite advances in laboratory testing, surgical technique, and donor/recipient selection, lung transplantation is still associated with significant mortality, due to postoperative complications. This paper consists of a brief review of postoperative complications in lung transplant recipients, illustrating those complications with computed tomography images.

【摘要】肺移植作为终末期肺部疾病的替代治疗手段，临床应用愈发广泛。尽管实验室检测技术、手术操作技巧以及供体与受体筛选流程均已取得显著进展，但肺移植仍因术后并发症面临较高的术后死亡率。本文简要综述了肺移植受者的术后并发症，并通过计算机断层扫描（Computed Tomography，CT）图像对各类并发症进行示例说明。
