“…Airway complications are associated with significant rates of morbidity in patients who receive lung transplants 8,15 . According to previous studies, the incidence of airway complications varied between 2 and 30% 12,19,25,26 , which was comparable with the rate in our study. Additionally, a stenosis was the most common complication in most studies 19,20,27,28 , which was also consistent with our results.…”

“…Airway complications are associated with signi cant rates of morbidity in patients who receive lung transplants. [7,16] According to previous studies, the incidence of airway complications varied between 2-30%, [17][18][19][20] which was comparable with the rate in our study. Additionally, a stenosis was the most common complication in most studies, [17,19,21,22] which was also consistent with our results.…”

“…Stenosis causes dyspnea, requires multiple invasive procedures on the airways, involves more frequent hospital visits, and is associated with a higher risk for airway infections, although it does not have a negative impact on survival. 46 Therefore, the management of airway stenosis related to LT is challenging. The main objective of this study was to assess this complication in 2 groups of recipients, with no significant differences found.…”
