Abstract:
Diaphragmatic paralysis can lead to significant ventilatory impairment, especially if associated with underlying lung disease. Adequate ventilatory mechanics are essential for good outcomes after lung transplantation. We report a case of bilateral diaphragmatic plication at the time of double lung transplantation as an attempt to improve posttransplant ventilation, with good outcome.
