Abstract:
We report a case of a 43-year-old woman who underwent double lung transplantation from a donor with severe airway burns following a house fire. The recipient's lung function and quality of life remain excellent 24 months following transplantation. This case is the first to report successful long-term outcomes in transplantation of lungs affected by smoke inhalation.
