Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Living donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) has been successfully used in select patient populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 29-year-old male, who underwent bilateral LDLLT 12 years earlier with allografts donated by father and paternal uncle, developed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome at distinctly different rates. CONCLUSION: LDLLT can be done successfully with unique management issues.
