Abstract: Lung transplantation has become an established therapy for end-stage lung diseases. Early postoperative complications can impact immediate, mid-term, and long-term outcomes. Appropriate management, prevention, and early detection of these early postoperative complications can improve the overall transplant course. In this review, we highlight the incidence, detection, and management of these early postoperative complications in lung transplant recipients.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict of interestThe authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (© Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons 2021.)
