The impact of restricted chests on long-term lung function parameters following lung transplantation in patients with interstitial lung disease
Although LTx for ILD patients with a restricted chest is considered technically more challenging, the perioperative course is similar to ILD patients with a preserved chest. In addition, no significant differences were observed between both groups in long-term lung function and overall survival, suggesting an improvement in chest wall compliance.
