Investigating Defects of Esophageal Motility in Lung Transplant Recipients
Lung transplant patients are at risk of developing chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) of which bronchitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the most common. These patients also are noted to develop gastrointestinal (GI) disease. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is implicated in BOS, and diagnosis and treatment of GERD may help to decrease incidence of BOS. Full Text
