Bilateral lung transplantation with simultaneous aortic replacement using donor aorta in a patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension and patent ductus arteriosus
To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of LTx with aortic replacement using a donor aortic graft for the management of PDA. We believe this combined procedure may represent a feasible surgical strategy for adult patients with PAH complicated by PDA and warrants further investigation in future cases.
