RESUMEN

The authors, herein, reported the first documented case of a patient who receiving heart-lung transplantation at our institute and developed BOS as a late complication. The patient presented 5 years after received heart-lung transplantation with progressive shortness of breath due to obstructive lung disease. He was diagnosed with BOS by typical clinical presentation, pulmonary function test and radiographic findings and there were no other identified etiologies of airway obstruction. The authors also reviewed the recent update on the diagnosis and management of BO after lung transplantation.
