Single-lobe transplantation with contralateral pneumonectomy: Long-term survival

Abstract

We report two cases of long-term survival after single living-donor lobar lung transplantation with contralateral pneumonectomy. An 8-year-old female with pulmonary graft-versus-host disease after cord-blood transplantation underwent single living-donor lobar lung transplantation with simultaneous contralateral pneumonectomy due to an oversized graft. She has been performing daily life activities for ≥11 years with limited physical development. A 41-year-old female with short stature underwent single living-donor lobar lung transplantation due to pulmonary graft-versus-host disease after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Contralateral pneumonectomy was required 7 years following living-donor lobar lung transplantation due to pneumonia in the native lung. Eleven years after living-donor lobar lung transplantation, she is able to perform daily life activities.
