Default Latent Chronic Bronchitis and surgery

My husband's scheduled/plane tickets ordered for hybrid surgery next week. His lung xray report says, "airway inflammatory disease with upper limit normal lung volumes, probably related to active or previous bronchitis..." Steve hasn't had bronchitis for years.

Does anyone know if this is a show stopper? I read somewhere they could put him on a week of antibiotic (that would have to be today!).

Thanks
