【 摘 要 】

Single lung recipient outcomes are inextricably linked to the function of the single allograft. Unlike other recipients transplanted for other reasons, these recipients have no functional reserve from their native lung because pulmonary blood flow continues to be preferentially shunted through the allograft despite ineffectual ventilation.16 Additionally, an occasional complication of single lung transplantation for PH is infarction of the native lung from hypoperfusion. Though rare, such situations require emergent re-exploration and pneumonectomy.
