Abstract Background Gastrointestinal complications after lung transplatation are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. This study aims to describe severe gastrointestinal (SGC) transplantation. Methods We performed a prospective, observational that included 136 transplant patients during seven year period in tertiary care universitary hospital. SGC were defined as any diagnosis related the or biliary tract leading lower survival rates invasive therapeutic procedure. Early late those occurring < 30 days ≥ post-transplant. The function was calculated through Kaplan-Meier estimator. Variables analyzed using univariate multivariate analysis. Statistical significance p 0.05. Results There 17 (12.5%) patients. Five early. Twelve (70.6%) required surgical treatment. Mortality 52.9% ( n = 9). Patients had overall rate compared who did not (14 vs 28 months, 0.0099). development arrhythmias first 48 h transplantation factor for 0.0326). Conclusions common considerable increase morbidity-mortality. recognition is necessary avoid delays treatment, since clear predictor has been found order forecast this relevant comorbidity.
