Chronic rejection of the lung in patients with heart-lung transplants has
most often been associated with the development of obliterative
bronchiolitis. Previously only one patient receiving a single-lung
transplant suffered from the development of this problem. We describe a
patient whose obliterative bronchiolitis developed 9 months after
single-lung transplantation. Progressive deterioration occurred until his
death from obliterative bronchiolitis at 21 months after transplantation.
The functional and histologic changes are described and the possible
mechanisms discussed.
