Abstract
A ventilator-dependent patient with primary ciliary dyskinesia underwent su ccessful living-donor lobar lung transplantation. The case was a 24-year-ol d woman who had developed recurrent lower respiratory infection and became ventilator-dependent due to severe bronchiectasis. Transmission electron mi croscopy of the resected bronchus demonstrated inner dynein arm deficiency. (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
