Abstract:
Acute lung injury after lung transplantation is usually due to reperfusion injury and can severely affect outcome. Unilateral lung injury is usually due to obstruction of the pulmonary venous/left atrial anastomosis. We present the successful treatment of a patient with unilateral acute lung injury unusually caused by contralateral pulmonary artery anastomotic obstruction. The detection and management of this clinical situation is discussed.
