Reversible Bronchiectasis in COVID-19 Survivors With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Pseudobronchiectasis

To retrospectively analyze whether traction bronchiectasis was reversible in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and whether computed tomography (CT) findings were associated with the reversibility, 41 COVID-19 survivors with ARDS were follo...
