| Abstrakt: |
Heart and left lung (en bloc) transplantation was used as an approach to end-stage cardiomyopathy with very high pulmonary vascular resistance. This surgical method was applied to a 13-year-old girl who did very well initially, but died 5 months later of severe pulmonary and cardiac rejection. The pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy showed equalization of the blood flow in both lungs after 42 days, and complete reversal of the pulmonary vascular changes in the opposite lung was observed at autopsy. |
