N2 - Complete obstruction of one or more of the major
pulmonary veins after lung transplantation is a devastating
complication. It results in hemorrhagic infarction
of the affected lung within 4 to 6 hours,
leading to irreversible lung damage. Reported treatments have
included resection of the affected lobe and retransplantation.1,2
We present a case of pulmonary
venous infarction after
transplantation that was
treated conservatively.
