Prolonged survival after single lung transplantation for pulmonary hypertension secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus
2004
Pulmonary hypertension is one of the life-threatening complications of systemic lupus erythematosus, but these patients are often excluded from lung transplantation candidacy due to the nature of underlying multiple system involvement. We report a long-term survival after single lung transplantation in a case of systemic lupus erythematosus with severe pulmonary hypertension. It suggests that single lung transplantation may be considered in such patients, especially in condition of limited donor organ supply.
