Use of CT-SCAN score and volume measures to early identify restrictive allograft syndrome in single lung transplant recipients
Restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS) after lung transplantation (LTx) is associated with the poorer graft survival in patients with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Nevertheless, its diagnostic criteria have not been clearly defined after single-LTx (SLTx). Hence, we studied an SLTx cohort with CLAD to investigate the utility of both computed tomography (CT)-score/volume measures and functional spirometric criteria for the early identification of RAS in this population.
