Abstract:
We report a case of severe intraoperative pulmonary hypertension during double lung transplantation. A 31-year-old woman with severe primary pulmonary hypertension underwent double lung transplantation. Although a marked increase in pulmonary arterial pressure (180/80 mmHg) exceeding the level of systemic arterial pressure occurred after anesthetic induction, the operation could be performed with scheduled cardiopulmonary bypass without using urgent percutaneous cardiopulmonary support.
