When tissue is the issue: A histological review of chronic lung allograft dysfunction

Although chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains the major life-limiting factor following lung transplantation, much of its pathophysiology remains unknown. The discovery that CLAD can manifest both clinically and morphologically in vastly different ways led to the definition of distinct subtypes of CLAD. In this review, recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the different phenotypes of CLAD will...
