Outcomes of Lung Transplantation Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Introduction: Respiratory complications of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT), both allogeneic and autologous, comprise the majority of its morbidity and mortality. Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGVHD) is a multisystem disorder that is a common complication of allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) considered part of the spectrum of cGVHD pulmonary manifestations, affect 5.5% of transplant recipients. The prognosis of BOS remains poor.
