• Pulmonary artery stenosis (30-50%) on initial chest-CT following lung transplantation predicts CLAD HR = 4.5; CI [1.6-13.2]. • Pleural effusion and consolidations 1 year after lung transplantation predict CLAD and death. • Early evaluation of lung transplanted patients should evaluate pulmonary artery anastomosis.
