Lung transplant graft salvage using aortic homograft for bronchial dehiscence

Abstract The use of aortic homograft in infective pathology is well described. Its use in the repair of post-transplant airway complications has been seldom reported. Herein, we report our experience with the successful use of aortic homograft in the management of post-transplant large airway complications in two patients. Major airway complications (ACs) following lung transplantation are uncommon but contribute to significant morbidity and mortality [1].
