Resum

(1)Objective: To determine whether recent advances in lung transplantation (LT) have reduced the incidence and changed the risk factors for airway complications (AC). (2) Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients receiving a lung transplant between January 2007 and January 2019. An AC was defined as a bronchoscopic abnormality in the airway, either requiring or not requiring an endoscopic or surgical intervention. Both univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to identify risk factors for AC. (3) Results: 285 lung transplants (170 single and 115 bilateral lung transplants) were analysed, comprising 400 anastomoses at risk. A total of 50 anastomoses resulted in AC (12%). There were 14 anastomotic and 11 non-anastomotic stenoses, 4 dehiscences, and 3 malacias. Independent predictors for AC were: gender male (OR: 4.18; p = 0.002), cardiac comorbidities (OR: 2.74; p = 0.009), prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation (OR: 2.5; p = 0.02), PaO2/FiO2 < 300 mmHg at 24 h post-LT (OR: 2.48; p = 0.01), graft infection (OR: 2.16; p = 0.05), and post-LT isolation of Aspergillus spp. (OR: 2.63; p = 0.03). (4) Conclusions: In spite of advances in lung transplantation practice, the risk factors, incidence, and lethality of AC after LT remains unchanged. Graft dysfunction, an infected environment, and the need of prolonged mechanical ventilation remain an Achilles heel for AC.
