Patients with cystic fibrosis present a challenge to management post-transplantation but the results are comparable with those obtained in patients with other conditions. The increasing population of cystic fibrosis patients who have undergone transplantation will require joint management of such patients by cystic fibrosis specialists and pulmonary transplant specialists. The follow-up of patients with cystic fibrosis following pulmonary transplantation potentially affords us an exciting opportunity to study the natural history of this disease as it affects the extra pulmonary organs.
囊性纤维化患者在移植后管理方面面临挑战,但结果与其他病症患者相当。越来越多接受移植的囊性纤维化患者需要囊性纤维化专家和肺移植专家联合管理此类患者。肺移植后囊性纤维化患者的随访可能为我们提供一个令人兴奋的机会,来研究这种疾病影响肺外器官时的自然病史。
