ABSTRACT

Las complicaciones de la vía aérea son relativamente frecuentes luego de un trasplante pulmonar y representan un gran desafío para el equipo médico. A pesar del desarrollo de distintas modalidades de tratamiento endoscópico y la menor incidencia de complicaciones con el avance de las técnicas quirúrgicas, su morbimortalidad continúa siendo elevada. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con trasplante pulmonar derecho, que desarrolló cuatro complicaciones graves y sucesivas de la vía aérea con resolución terapéutica favorable.


Airway complications are relatively frequent after lung transplantation and represent a great challenge to the medical team. In spite of the development of different modalities of bronchoscopic treatment and a lower incidence of complications with new surgical techniques, morbidity and mortality are still elevated. We present the case of a woman who underwent right lung transplantation who afterward developed four severe and consecutive airway complications that solved with a successful therapy approach.
