Abstract

As more lung transplantations are performed, many patients will suffer graft failure and will be considered for retransplantation. This article reviews the case management reports of four patients who received lung or heart/lung retransplantation, with overall disappointing results. The pros and cons of lung retransplantation are discussed.
