Functional and computed tomographic evolution and survival of restrictive allograft syndrome after lung transplantation

In the early stages of RAS, central and peripheral ground glass opacities are the most prominent feature on CT, whereas, in later stages, bronchiectasis, traction, central and peripheral consolidation, architectural deformation, volume loss and hilus retraction are more pronounced. CT changes, however, could not predict survival, whereas FVC at diagnosis of CLAD seems to be the best predictor of survival.
