ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

We successfully performed left-to-right rotated single lung transplants in 2 patients. For this procedure, the left pulmonary artery of the donor undergoes a U-shaped turn with A3 at the bottom to anastomose with the recipient's right pulmonary artery in front of the bronchus. It is extremely important to avoid kinking the pulmonary artery at the site of the U-shaped turn.
