Updates in lung transplantation for connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease
Lung transplantation has become a crucial treatment option for patients with end-stage lung disease.In recent years,the number of patients with interstitial lung disease(ILD)undergoing lung transplantation has been steadily increasing,with the majority of these cases involving idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.However,connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease(CTD-ILD)also presents a significant number of patients with end-stage lung disease who meet the criteria for lung transplantation.Despite this,due to the involvement of multiple organs and the complexity of perio-perative management,CTD-ILD remains one of the major challenges in the field of lung transplantation.This article reviews recent advancements in lung transplantation for CTD-ILD,aiming to provide relevant information on recipient selection and perioperative management for clinicians.
