ABSTRACT
Eisenmenger's syndrome is the disease of right to left shunt developing from the increased pulmonary vascular resistance caused by excessive pulmonary blood flow in patients with abnormal connections of systemic to pulmonary blood passage. The heart-lung transplantation was the only curative method in early transplantation period, but good results after bilateral lung transplantation have been reported as the fact that right heart function improved by only lung transplantation. We successfully carried out bilateral sequential single lung transplantation in a 34-year-old female patient with Eisenmenger's syndrome with large PDA. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.
