Birch J, et al. - Researchers carried out a retrospective review to delineate the outcomes of lung transplantation in adults with bronchiectasis (BR). They studied case notes and transplantation databases for patients that had undergone lung transplantation for bronchiectasis at the Freeman Hospital between 1990 and 2013. They found that lung transplantation provided good survival and lung function outcomes in the studied population and hence proved to be a useful therapeutic option for end-stage BR. They noted that survival values were similar to other bilateral lung transplants at their centre. In addition, data showed that pre-transplantation Pseudomonas infection was common.
