| Core Tip |
Native lung hyperinflation can lead to significant transplanted lung dysfunction and worsening of clinical symptoms. While lung volume reduction surgery has been identified as an approach to improve quality of life in patient with severe upper-lobe predominant emphysema, its benefits in single lung transplant patient is limited to case reports and small retrospective studies. No prior case has been described of an auto-lung volume reduction of native lung in single lung transplant patient. In our patient, a spontaneous pneumothorax in the emphysematous native lung led to automatic lung volume reduction and significant clinical improvement. This case highlights the importance of identifying appropriate patient selection for lung volume reduction surgery when chronic lung allograft dysfunction has been ruled out in transplanted lung and patient has significant symptom burden and evidence of native lung hyperinflation. |
