Lung Size Mismatch in Bilateral Lung Transplantation Is Associated With Allograft Function and Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome.

The article presents a retrospective review of 159 adults who received bilateral lung transplants. The study calculated the predicted total lung capacity for donors and recipients with sex and height as bases. It reveals an association between oversized allograft and higher expiratory airflow capacity and a less frequent occurrence of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.
