Abstract
Successful single lung transplantation following previous pneumonectomy has not been reported in the literature. We report a patient with cystic fibrosis who underwent left single lung transplantation following right pneumonectomy 13 years previously. The outcome was adversely affected by postpneumonectomy syndrome.
