| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Anastomotic complications state a serious problem after lung transplantation. However, conventional bronchoscopy is the only available modality to directly observe the perfusion of the anastomotic site. Aim of this study is to show that the procedure of ICG bronchoscopy is feasible. In the future, ICG bronchoscopy might help to identify patients with impaired perfusion at the anastomotic site earlier and guide the surgeon in the further management of such patients. |
