Asymptomatic
Our case suggested asymptomatic and localized anastomotic dehiscence does not always require endobronchial stent placement or re-operation. Multiple factors that may contribute to the successful conservative management were discussed in this article. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Both patients performed the 6MWT for a lung transplantation workup while dependent on MV. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Candidates over the age of 70 years are not routinely referred for workup for lung transplantation. Arbitrary restrictions exist for most programs. The conventional definition offered for “elderly” patients is older than 65 years of age (Fig. 2 ). [link.springer.com]
Treatment
Antiviral treatment with CDV was individually adapted according to anti-ADV immune responses, which provides a new method for tailoring antiviral treatment in lung transplant recipients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
We aimed to evaluate the incidence and prognosis of cancer following LTx for COPD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
This case report describes infection by S. prolificans, which rarely becomes an etiologic agent in lung transplant patients, and shows that endobronchial topical amphotericin B instillation is a therapeutic option when systemic antifungal treatment is [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology of aspergillosis in lung transplant recipients is fairly well-defined; the challenge remains both diagnosis and treatment of this disease. [aspergillus.org.uk]

Prevention
Long-term toxicities attributed to tacrolimus, such as nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity, can limit the long-term success of tacrolimus in preventing allograft rejection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
