摘要
Airway complications remain a major problem after lung transplantation. There is no standardised method of assessment of airway healing. We propose a classification of airway healing based on the anastomotic appearances at endoscopy 15 days postoperatively. The system appears to correlate well with the subsequent development of anastomotic sequelae and can be used to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic modalities designed to reduce airway complications.
