A, Preoperative chest computed tomography scan results showed uneven disease laterality. B, Recipient pulmonary artery preparation. The pulmonary artery was divided at the periphery of A6 to leave it beyond the bronchus stump, with ligation of A3, A1+2ab, and A1+2c. The recipient pulmonary artery was cut in an oblique plane, from A1+2ab to A6, so as to obtain a wide site for anastomosis of the right-side main pulmonary artery of the donor. C, Anastomosis of the pulmonary artery was performed after making space by retraction of both the donor and recipient bronchi. D, Final image of hilar anastomosis.

A, 3D-CT angiography image obtained at 1 week after the operation. The anastomosis site of the pulmonary artery was behind the bronchus. B, 3D-CT angiography performed 2 months later showed good patency and dilatation of the pulmonary artery and vein. C, Bronchoscopy image of anastomosis site of bronchus.
