Itaru Nagahiro et al. Surg Today. 2003.

Abstract

We report the case of a 35-year-old man in whom an acute pulmonary vein thrombosis developed following bilateral sequential lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis. The thrombus was detected by transesophageal echocardiography 12 h after transplantation and an emergency thrombectomy was successfully performed.
