Pediatric lung transplantation represents a treatment option for children with advanced lung disease or pulmonary vascular disorders who are deemed an appropriate candidate. Pediatric flexible bronchoscopy is an important and evolving field that is highly relevant in the pediatric lung transplant population. It is thus important to advance our knowledge to better understand how care for children after lung transplant can be maximally optimized using pediatric bronchoscopy. Our goals are to continually improve procedural skills when performing bronchoscopy and to decrease the complication rate while acquiring adequate samples for diagnostic evaluation. Attainment of these goals is critical since allograft assessment by bronchoscopic biopsy is required for histological diagnosis of acute cellular rejection and is an important contributor to establishing chronic lung allograft dysfunction, a common complication after lung transplant. Flexible bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial lung biopsy plays a key role in lung transplant graft assessment. In this article, we discuss the application of bronchoscopy in pediatric lung transplant evaluation including historical approaches, our experience, and future directions not only in bronchoscopy but also in the evolving pediatric lung transplantation field. Pediatric flexible bronchoscopy has become a vital modality for diagnosing lung transplant complications in children as well as assessing therapeutic responses. Herein, we review the value of flexible bronchoscopy in the management of children after lung transplant and discuss the application of novel techniques to improve care for this complex pediatric patient population and we provide a brief update about new diagnostic techniques applied in the growing lung transplantation field.

“…• Transplante pulmonar O transplante pulmonar já está bem estabelecido como uma terapia para tratar várias doenças pulmonares crônicas que levam a insuficiência respiratória (CAMARGO et al, 2014). A infecção e inflamação crônica das vias aéreas na FC provocam extensas bronquiectasias, que resultam em falência respiratória e o transplante de pulmão pode ser indicado (ELBORN, 2016).…”

This special issue is dedicated to the common challenge topics in pediatric transplantation. It contains 11 chapters, ranging from clinical research in pediatric transplantation to translational research (from bench to bedside). It includes comprehensive reviews from renowned scientists, clinicians and surgeons from five countries from the International Pediatric Transplantation Association (IPTA), Harvard University, the University of Miami and the University of São Paulo Medical School. The clinical management of specific issues, such as sensitized patients and ABO blood type-incompatible transplantation, is addressed. In addition, the challenges facing this patient population and the future perspectives for clinical research are discussed.
