[Complications of lung transplantation: clinical aspects and radiological findings]

In spite of improvements in the surgical technique of lung transplantation, early and late complications after surgery are not uncommon. The authors review the clinical aspects and radiological findings of these complications, including reperfusion edema, acute rejection, infections, airway complications, vascular complications, pleural complications, chronic rejection, omentopexy complications, transbronchial biopsy complications, post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disease and recurrence of the primitive disease. Early detection of these complications is important for early appropriate treatment, resulting in the decrease in morbidity and mortality of the transplanted patients.
