This article reviews the literature on airway healing after lung transplantation. From a historical point of view, this has been the Achilles' heel of lung transplantation through two decades, from the first attempt at single-lung transplantation in 1963 to the clinical successes in the early 1980s. The overall incidence of lethal airway complications is estimated to be 2% to 3%, whereas that of late stricture is 7% to 14%. Comparison of experiences has been difficult without a universal classification; a new classification for airway and anastomotic complications and healing is proposed. Ischemia appears to be the most important factor influencing airway healing. Low-pressure collateral bronchial blood flow from the pulmonary artery may be affected by low cardiac output, reperfusion edema, or rejection; mucosal injury may be further increased by prolonged positive-pressure ventilation. Good bronchial healing appears to be possible without a protective wrap and with early use of steroids. The management of bronchial complications is challenging and requires endoscopic skills including knowledge of endobronchial laser photocoagulation and stent insertion techniques.
