Overview
Bronchiectasis developing post-lung transplantation is a significant complication often linked to primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). It results from persistent inflammation, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and immune responses that damage the bronchial tree, leading to irreversible airway dilation and impaired lung function. 1241022344464Diagnosis
