Lung transplantation for bronchiolitis obliterans after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a retrospective single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is one of the most common late non-infectious pulmonary complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Lung transplantation (LT) is the only cure for patients with end-stage BO, but the overall efficacy is rarely reported.
