Abstrakt: A 41-year-old woman with lymphangioleiomyomatosis developed a bronchial anastomotic stenosis after left single lung transplantation (LTx). A part of the hyperinflated right native lung was excised in an attempt to remedy the left lung compression, which appeared to affect the bronchial anastomotic stenosis and ventilation/perfusion mismatch. However, a persistent air leak after the surgery caused empyema and an open window thoracotomy (OWT) was performed. She remained oxygen-dependent and was relisted for lung transplantation. A right single LTx on the side of OWT was performed, achieving long-term survival with no activity limitations for the patient. We report here the first successful LTx after OWT for empyema.
