Lung Transplantation in a Young Patient With Pulmonary Artery Hypertension After Arterial Switch Operation: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Pulmonary hypertension after surgical correction of D-transposition of the great vessels is a rare but serious complication. Lung transplantation may be the only option when treatment with vasodilators is insufficient. We present the case of a young male patient with a history of arterial switch in neonatal period who undergoes double lung transplantation owing to late pulmonary hypertension.
