Abstract
A 44-year-old man became wheelchair-bound due to sever bronchiolitis obliterans caused by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for acute myelogenous leukemia. His lung donors, his sister and his wife, were 17 cm shorter than him. He successfully underwent living-donor lobar lung transplantation with sparing of the bilateral native upper lobes to address the size mismatch. Ten months after the transplantation, the patient has returned to a normal lifestyle without supplemental oxygen.Entities:
