Abstract

CASTIGNOLA, Mariela et al. Rechazo en trasplante pulmonar: ¿cómo evaluarlo por tomografía computada multidectector?. Rev. am. med. respir. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.4, pp.336-341. ISSN 1852-236X.

Lung transplantation is a valid therapeutic option to prolong survival in patients with end-stage pulmonary disease. Survival after lung transplantation has greatly improved as a result of advances in surgical techniques, careful preservation of donor organs, progress in immunosuppressive therapy, and the use of imaging techniques for an early recognition of complications. Our goal is to provide a radiology guide of acute and chronic rejection of lung transplants. The fndings of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) studies are described.

Keywords : Multidetector computed tomography; Acute rejection; Chronic rejection; Obliterans bronchiolitis syndrome; Restrictive allograft syndrome.
