Abstract
Introduction
Living donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) has been successfully used in select patient populations.
Materials and Methods
A 29-year-old male, who underwent bilateral LDLLT 12 years earlier with allografts donated by father and paternal uncle, developed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome at distinctly different rates.
Conclusion
LDLLT can be done successfully with unique management issues.
