Abstract
A1AD was the only significant risk factor identified for gastrointestinal complications that required laparotomy within 3 months after lung transplantation. There was a trend toward a higher risk of death after laparotomy in patients with A1AD, and the length of stay in the intensive care unit was significantly prolonged, whereas the time on mechanical ventilation was unaffected.
