Roy SB, et al. - In view of the observation that fundoplication slows lung function decline after lung transplantation in patients with Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), researchers search for the optimal timing of fundoplication. Findings revealed a higher forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) 5 years post-LTx among patients with early fundoplication. In transplant recipients with GERD, early fundoplication might protect against GERD-induced lung damage.
