Nightmare case of repeated hemorrhagic pancreatitis due to pancreatic head cancer in the acute stage after two-stage lung transplantation
In Japan, due to the shortage of deceased organ donors, the use of two-stage lung transplantation (LTx), specifically sequential single-lung transplants (SSLTs), has been increasing. This approach starts immunosuppressive therapy after the first transplantation, which increases the risk of malignancies. Here, we present a case of fatal perioperative hemorrhagic pancreatitis caused by pancreatic head cancer following SSLTs. This case highlights significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
