    Abstract Purpose of review: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains a life-threatening complication following lung transplantation. Different CLAD phenotypes have recently been defined, based on the combination of pulmonary function testing and chest computed tomography (CT) scanning and spurred renewed interests in differential diagnosis, risk factors and management of CLAD.
    Recent findings: Given their crucial importance in the differential diagnosis, we will discuss the latest development in assessing the pulmonary function and chest CT scan, but also their limitations in proper CLAD phenotyping, especially with regards to patients with baseline allograft dysfunction. Since no definitive treatment exists, it remains important to timely identify clinical risk factors, but also to assess the presence of specific patterns or biomarkers in tissue or in broncho alveolar lavage in relation to CLAD (phenotypes). We will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in risk factors and biomarker research in CLAD. Lastly, we will also review novel preventive and curative treatment strategies for CLAD.
    Summary: Although this knowledge has significantly advanced the field of lung transplantation, more research is warranted because CLAD remains a life-threatening complication for all lung transplant recipients.

    Abstract COPD and α-1 antitrypsin deficiency emphysema remain one of the major indications for lung transplantation. If all other treatment possibilities are exhausted or not possible (including rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, noninvasive ventilation, lung volume reduction), patients may qualify for lung transplantation. Strict selection criteria are implemented with a lot of relative and absolute contraindications. Because of an ongoing donor shortage, only a minority of endstage COPD patients will finally get transplanted. The procedure may involve a single or a double lung transplantation, dependent on the experience of the centre, the waiting list, the availability of donor lungs and the patient's risk-benefit ratio. In general, the life expectancy as well as the health-related quality of life after lung transplantation for COPD are usually increased, and may be somewhat better after double compared with single lung transplantation. Several specific complications can be encountered, such as the development of solid organ cancer and chronic lung allograft dysfunction, which develops in up to 50% of patients within 5 years of their transplant and has a major impact on long-term survival, because of the current inefficient treatment modalities.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains a major barrier preventing long-term survival following lung transplantation. As our clinical knowledge regarding its definition and presentation has significantly improved over the last years, adequate biomarkers to predict development of CLAD, phenotype of CLAD or prognosis post-CLAD diagnosis are definitely needed.
    Recent findings: Radiological and physiological markers are gradually entering routine clinical practice. In-depth investigation of biological samples including broncho-alveolar lavage, biopsy and serum has generated potential biomarkers involved in fibrogenesis, airway injury and inflammation but none of these are universally accepted or implemented although progress has been made, specifically regarding donor-derived cell-free DNA and donor-specific antibodies.
    Summary: Although a lot of promising biomarkers have been put forward, a very limited number has made it to routine clinical practice. Nevertheless, a biomarker that leads to earlier detection or more adequate disease phenotyping would advance the field enormously.

    Abstract Purpose of review: New chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) consensus documents were published in 2019, defining four phenotypes; bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, restrictive allograft syndrome, mixed and undefined. Clearly, validation of these guidelines in a real life cohort is critical.
    Recent findings: Indeed, validation has been performed recently, both after bilateral lung transplantation (LTx) and after single LTx illustrating that precise phenotyping based on pulmonary function alone can be difficult. Undertaking regular chest computed tomography scanning does appear very helpful in establishing the prognosis of the patients with CLAD.
    Summary: Pulmonary function changes may not always identify the exact phenotype of CLAD and we provide further evidence for the important role of chest imaging at diagnosis and during the follow-up of patients with CLAD.
