Description
Native lung hyperinflation (NLH) is one of the known complications after single lung transplantation (SLT). Generally, satisfactory results are achieved in patients undergoing SLT when simultaneous (or second stage) volume reduction of the contralateral native lung is performed. Contralateral native lung pneumonectomy after SLT is rarely reported. In this article, we report a case of a successful, right pneumonectomy of the native lung, 3 years after a left single lung transplant for pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (PLAM). The patient’s pulmonary function and quality of life improved significantly after a right pneumonectomy of the native lung.
