Abstract
This is a case report about a 56-year-old female;patient with primary pulmo nary hypertension who underwent single, right lung transplantation. Five ye ars postoperatively she developed signs of right heart failure. History and physical examination suggested pulmonary artery stenosis. Diagnosis was co nfirmed by pulmonary angiography. Percutaneous placement of a balloon expan dable stent normalized pulmonary artery pressure.
