Abstract
Distortion of the pulmonary artery anastomosis due to the size mismatch between the recipient's pulmonary trunk and the donor's pulmonary artery was the cause of acute right ventricular failure after cardiac transplantation. The problem was corrected with a two-suture technique, which has been used subsequently.
