BackgroundTracheal diverticula (TD) are rare anomalies that may harbor infected secretions, posing potential risk to patients with lung disease. In an end-stage cystic fibrosis (CF) cohort, we describe the characteristics and associated post-lung transplant (LTx) outcomes of TD.MethodsPre-transplant computed tomography (CT)'s were reviewed in CF patients undergoing LTx. TD were characterized radiographically and on autopsy when available. Pre-transplant clinical variables and post-transplant outcomes were compared by TD status.ResultsOf 93 patients, 35 (37.6%) had TD. 58% of TD had fat-stranding, and post-mortem TD examinations revealed histology carrying intense submucosal inflammation, and purulent contents that cultured identical species to sputum. There was no difference in post-LTx survival [HR 1.77 (0.82–3.82),p= 0.147], bacterial re-colonization, or rejection in patients with TD compared to those without. Patients with TD were more likely to die from infection, but the result was not statistically significant [HR 2.02 (0.62–6.63),p= 0.245].ConclusionsWe found a high prevalence of TD in end-stage CF, where diverticula may represent a large-airway bacterial reservoir. TD were not associated with differences in post-LTx outcomes, but given the infectious concerns further investigation is necessary.
