Abstract
Cadaveric lobar lung transplantation is an alternative for patients whose chest cavities have small dimensions. We present here a case where 1 donor was used for bilateral lobar transplantations in 2 high-risk patients. Coordination between the graft preparation at the back table and the 2 concomitant lung transplant teams was necessary to minimize the ischemic injury of the grafts and to plan for adequate vascular and bronchial cuffs for both implantations.
