Abstract

Blood vessel prosthesis lung transplantation pulmonary artery pulmonary veins tissue engineering Adolescent Bioprosthesis Blood Vessel Prosthesis Blood Vessel Prosthesis Implantation Cystic Fibrosis Female Humans Intestine, Small Lung Transplantation Phlebography Pulmonary Veins Reconstructive Surgical Procedures Tomography, X-Ray Computed Treatment Outcome Blood vessel prosthesis lung transplantation pulmonary artery pulmonary veins tissue engineering adult allograft angiography anticoagulant therapy article artificial ventilation cardiopulmonary bypass case report computed tomographic angiography extracellular matrix extubation female fibrosis herpes zoster encephalitis human hypoxia implantation lung hemorrhage lung parenchyma lung transplantation plasmapheresis plastic surgery postoperative complication pulmonary vein malformation seizure small intestine mucosa subarachnoid hemorrhage submucosa tachycardia tissue implant tissue oxygenation transesophageal echocardiography vein anastomosis
Anomalous pulmonary vein anatomy is infrequently encountered during reconstructive lung surgery, especially lung transplantation. Complications of pulmonary venous anastomosis carry high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of anomalous pulmonary vein reconstruction with a decellularized porcine small intestinal submucosa-derived extracellular matrix during bilateral lung transplantation in an 18-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis. © 2012 The Author(s).
