Endovascular transatrial stenting of pulmonary vein stenosis after lung transplantation. Am J Transplant 2023; 23:111-114.

Abstract
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) and pulmonary vein occlusion (PVO) represent rare complications after lung transplantation (LTx), with limited therapeutic options and a high risk of graft loss. We present 2 cases of successful endovascular transatrial stenting following double LTx. A 60-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who underwent double lobar LTx was diagnosed at postoperative day 72 with a high-grade PVS on the left side. A 22-year-old woman with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension who underwent double LTx was diagnosed 9 days later with PVO of the left upper lobe vein. To avoid surgical reintervention, endovascular transatrial dilatation and stenting were performed successfully in both cases. Transatrial endovascular stenting of PVS or PVO after LTx seems an effective and safe treatment option that should be considered for these life-threatening complications and executed with care.

Abstract
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare event following lung transplantation which increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Early detection and rapid treatment of this condition is crucial for its management. Although several reports on PVS have been published, there is little consensus regarding its diagnosis and the methods of management. Here we present our experience with PVS. A 31-year-old man received a left lung transplant for chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. One year after his single-lung transplant, he began to develop persistent progressive hypoxemia. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest showed left pleural effusion and thickening of the interlobular septa. The results of bronchoscopy and transbronchial biopsies excluded the possibility of acute rejection or infection. The pleural effusion was transudative with lymphocyte predominance. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) in the left atrium and pulmonary veins demonstrated obvious stenosis of both the upper and lower left pulmonary veins (LLPVs) at the transplant anastomotic site. The patient underwent a catheter-guide stent implantation into the stenotic segment of the upper left pulmonary vein (ULPV), and his pleural effusion and hypoxemia problems were ameliorated. Ten months after the intervention, the patient was in excellent clinical condition. In a literature review, we discuss the importance of identifying PVS early after transplantation, the utility of CTA for diagnosis and the use of pulmonary vein stenting intervention. This review provides a basis for further diagnostic strategies and treatments for PVS following lung transplantation.

Abstract
Though rare, pulmonary vascular complications after lung transplantation carry high morbidity and mortality. Knowledge of the normal and abnormal appearance of lung transplant vasculature is essential for timely and appropriate diagnosis and management of complications. Appropriate selection of surgical and endovascular treatments depend on the availability of expertise and requires a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the best outcomes.

Abstract
We present a 62-year old male who underwent right single-lung transplantation. An autologous pericardial rim was constructed at implantation, as there was insufficient donor atrial cuff. The patient was discharged home but deteriorated over 12 months resulting in oxygen dependency. Computed tomography scan showed stenosis of the right inferior pulmonary vein. The patient underwent pulmonary vein angioplasty under general anaesthesia in September 2007, which was successful and resulted in significant improvement in clinical status. However, his symptoms recurred 2 months later and a second attempt at angioplasty failed. He died 6 weeks later.
