Lung transplant outcomes in bronchiectasis -a single center experience

Conclusion: BE accounts for 11,2% of all LTx done in our center, a distribution that is superior to ISHLT registry. Comparing to all LTx pts we recognize a good BE post-transplant outcome, with a similar survival rate at 1-year and even superior at 5-years. These results reinforce the need to referral pts with severe and end stage BE and supports the role of LTx as valuable treatment for this disease.
