Airway complications are relatively frequent after lung transplantation and represent a great challenge to the medical team. In spite of the development of different modalities of bronchoscopic treatment and a lower incidence of complications with new surgical techniques, morbidity and mortality are still elevated. We present the case of a woman who underwent right lung transplantation who afterward developed four severe and consecutive airway complications that solved with a successful therapy approach.
