Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 1992;6(10):568-70. doi: 10.1016/1010-7940(92)90011-l.

Abstract

An isolated left lower lobe was used as a left graft, during a bilateral single lung transplantation procedure, in a patient with infected fibrosis. This technique is suitable for patients with small lung volume (especially cystic fibrosis) or asymmetric retraction.
