Favorable, arduous or fatal postoperative pathway within 90 days of lung transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The maximum gain in quality of life after lung transplantation (LT) is expected between six months and one year after LT, as the occurrence of chronic lung allograft dysfunction may mask the beneficial effects beyond one year.
