ABSTRACT
A 43 year-old female, who underwent bilateral lung transplantation for Eisenmenger syndrome 10 years previously, visited our hospital complaining of progressive severe dyspnea. She was diagnosed as having bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, which was presumably caused by chronic graft rejection following lung transplantation. Due to the aggravated dyspnea despite medical treatment, she required ventilator care and then she underwent lung retransplantation. We report here on a case of lung retransplantation for treating chronic graft rejection following the previous lung transplantation for the first time in Korea.
