- Abstract
- (en) In the field of lung transplantation, posttransplant bronchial stenoses (PTBS) may involve the anastomosis site and/or the bronchi distal to the anastomosis. Distal airway stenoses are rare (2.5-4% of cases1,2). In case of recurrent or refractory symptomatic (dyspnea, cough, impairment of lung function, infections, etc.) PTBS, silicone stents and (fully covered) self-expanding metal stents (FC-SEMS) have also been used.
