Purpose RAS has recently been described as a form of CLAD with a decreased TLC and CT scan upper lobe opacities. This pattern seems to have recently appeared. Methods and Materials From 15/07/88 to 31/12/11, 181 adults (>16 years; 108 M/73F; 75 double lung, 75 single lung and 31 heart lung ) patients were transplanted.

Lung Transplantation: CT Assessment of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD)
Chronic lung allograft rejection remains one of the major causes of morbi-mortality after lung transplantation. The term Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) has been proposed to describe the different processes that lead to a significant and ...

Role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in Restrictive Allograft Syndrome After Lung Transplantation
Background. Differential diagnosis of phenotypes of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains troublesome. We hypothesized that 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) may help in differential diagnosis of CLAD phenotypes, as it showed promising results regarding ...

Purpose Chronic rejection is one of the major problems hampering long-term survival after lung transplantation (LTx). Recently, it became clear that patients with an irreversible decline in FEV1 can either develop an obstructive (Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome, BOS) or a restrictive lung function defect (Restrictive allograft syndrome, RAS).

Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD), manifesting as Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) or Restrictive Allograft Syndrome (RAS), is the main reason for adverse long-term outcome after Lung Transplantation (LTX).

Thoracic Ultrasound in Lung Transplantation—Insights in the Field
The use of thoracic ultrasound (TUS) is a novel and dynamic diagnostic and monitoring modality that has shown remarkable advances within the last decade, with several published papers investigating its role within the field of lung transplantation.

Functional and computed tomographic evolution and survival of restrictive allograft syndrome after lung transplantation [PDF]
Restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS) has recently been defined as a novel phenotype of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplantation. The goal was to describe computed tomographic (CT) changes of RAS patients and to correlate this with spirometry and survival.All 24 established RAS patients at our center were retrospectively ...

Chronic rejection of lung allografts has two major subtypes, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS), which present radiologically either as air trapping with small airways disease or with persistent ...
