Ascending and hemi arch replacement during bilateral orthotopic lung transplant: a case report
Abstract
Lung transplant candidates increasingly have concomitant cardiac disease. Prior studies have demonstrated the safety of lung transplant with concurrent cardiac surgery in small case series. Here, we describe a case of ascending aorta replacement at the same time as bilateral lung transplant utilizing a clamshell incision. The patient recovered well. With this case report, we aim to contribute to the growing literature showing the safety of concomitant heart and aortic surgery during lung transplant.
