Right lower lobectomy for pulmonary infarction before orthotopic heart transplantation

K M Loria et al. J Heart Lung Transplant. 1991 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

A 39-year-old potential heart transplant recipient had a right lower lobe infiltrate and on pulmonary angiography was found to have an embolous to the common basilar artery. This was successfully managed by a right lower lobectomy, after aggressive medical management failed. The patient was treated postoperatively with antibiotics and subsequently underwent orthotopic heart transplantation. At 1 year after transplant the patient has no evidence of cardiac or pulmonary insufficiency.
