摘要To the Editor:Appropriate donor-to-recipient size matching is of crucial importance in lung transplantation.Although tailoring of the lung has been described as a successful means of overcoming size disparities,its merits and demerits remain unclear.Here,we present a case of recurrent hypoxemia after unmatched single lung transplantation.The causes of the hypoxemia were right middlelobe resection and the consequential pulmonary trunk stenosis that lead to unbalanced ventilation-blood flow ratio,which was diagnosed by pulmonary angiography and properly treated by the implantation of stents.The diagnostic protocol and treatment experience may have value for future clinical lung transplantations.
