“…7 Further reports emerged in 1997, with 7 patients receiving bipartitioning or CLLTx, and 6 of this group survived to a median of 19 months (range, 10 -27 months) and had good exercise tolerance and a measured FEV 1 Ͼ70%. 8 The largest reported cohort to date involves 18 patients, with complication rates (bronchial healing, bleeding) and survival at 3 months similar to conventional LTx.…”

“…Lung transplantation for children is also a subject to be considered, because, at present, only living related LTx is a possible transplant option for children in Japan. Utilization of BDCD under 15 years of age, split lobar transplantation from adult lung allograft and down‐sizing LTx must be considered in LTx for children and infants 27–29 …”

The first successful lung transplantation (LTx) was performed in 1983. Since then, more than 10 000 LTx have been performed in the world, with approximately 1000 new cases each year in recent years. Lung transplantation is established as the ultimate treatment for end‐stage pulmonary diseases. Clinical application of LTx was delayed in Japan because of difficulty in acceptance of brain death. The Japanese Brain Death Act (JBDA) for organ transplantation was enforced in October 1997. Now, LTx from a brain‐dead cadaver donor (BDCD) becomes a clinical option for end‐stage lung diseases in this country. Four LTx centers were selected and the registration of candidates for LTx started in August 1998. In total, up until May 2001, 51 patients had been registered on a waiting list. Patients’ diseases for LTx in Japan are different from those in the US and Europe. So far, primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH; n = 23), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis/interstitial pneumonia (IPF/IIP; n = 8), lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM; n = 7) and bronchiectasis (BE; n = 6) are the major indications for LTx in Japan. Fourteen patients (27%) have died while waiting for LTx and only eight patients (14%) have received lung allografts. The BDCD are quite precious and, thus far, only 13 donors have become available after enforcement of the JBDA. Although the average utilization of BDCD for LTx was reported to be only 10–20%, positive utility of marginal donors in Japan has led to a higher rate (five of 13; 36%). Six LTx were performed from five BDCD. These included five single LTx (LAM n = 3; IPF/IIP n = 2) and one bilateral LTx (PPH n = 1). Because there are few BDCD in Japan, living‐donor lobar LTx (LDLTx) is thought to be the optimal choice for selected patients. Eight LDLTx (BE n = 2; bronchiolitis obliterans n = 2; IPF/IIP n = 2; LAM n = 1; and PPH n = 1) have been performed. All recipients who received a LTx in Japan are alive and doing well at present.

In spite of improvements in single or double lung transplantation (LT) technique, complications after LT are not uncommon; the most frequent ale anastomotic complications, infections and rejection (acute or chronic). Early detection of complications of LT allows the optimal therapeutic option to be taken, yielding decreased morbidity and mortality. In some cases, CT plays a key role in early detection of several complications of LT that may not be depicted with other diagnostic modalities, so that knowledge of their CT features is important. In this pictorial review, the authors describe the spectrum of CT features of the complications of LT (including reimplantation response, mechanical problems, acute and chronic rejection, infection, lymphoproliferative disorders, recurrence of the initial disease and complications involving the pleura and the anastomotic sites). In addition, the authors analyze the value of CT compared to that of the other available modalities for the detection of complications of LT.
