Abstract
Occlusion of the pulmonary artery anastomosis is an uncommon early com plication of lung transplantation which necessitates emergency surgica l revision. Percutaneous correction of such a complication has not bee n previously reported. We report a patient who had total pulmonary art ery occlusion less than 24 hours after right single lung transplantati on with successful revascularization achieved by means of percutaneous ly delivered endovascular stents.
