The anastomosis of the airway has been the focus of much of the debate, as the vasculature of the area makes it particularly prone to the development of postoperativ…

It is estimated that bronchial stenosis can occur in up to 27% of patients undergoing lung transplantation, of whom 13% require interventional bronchoscopy to treat such complications. It is believed that this complication is of multifactorial origin, being associated with acute …
