Lung transplantation is the only therapeutic alternative for more and more patients with respiratory diseases in their most advanced stages. The most limiting factor to achieve long term survival si chronic lung allograft dysfunction, a multifactorial disease without an effective treatment. The immunomodulatory capacity of mesenchymal stem cells enables them to be a potential therapeutic agent for this condition. The objective of this study is to assess the safety of endobronchial administration of allogeneic MSCs in patients with chroniclung allograft dysfunction.
