Gastric bezoar after lung transplantation in non-cystic fibrosis patients and review of the literature

Abstract

Gastric bezoars have been associated with solid-organ transplantation. In this report we describe the occurrence of gastric bezoars in two patients who underwent sequential single-lung transplantation for severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and analyze the possible pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible.
