Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report 2 cases of trapping and incarceration of the right lower lobe in the left hemithorax after heart-lung transplantation with bicaval anastamoses (domino donors). This occurred despite confirmation of the normal anatomy at the time of implantation, before lung inflation. In 1 case this complication resulted in a right lower lobectomy 7 days after transplantation due to infarction and infection of the right lower lobe. These cases illustrate the importance of reexamining the anatomy after lung inflation, before chest closure. |
