Chronic and Long-Term Complications after Lung Transplant: a Narrative Review

Background: The purpose of this article is to provide a current literature overview of long-term complications after lung transplantation (LT) which commonly affect graft survival. Long-term survival after LT is poor compared to that of other solid organ transplants. Understanding entities which influence graft function will lay a platform for new research into prevention and treatment and hopefully translate to improved survival.
