    AbstractA 67-year-old woman developed sudden-onset severe dyspnea 24 h after a bilateral sequential lung transplant for COPD. She had an uneventful surgery performed on cardiopulmonary bypass support. She required two units of packed RBCs as well as fresh frozen plasma during the surgery. She was successfully extubated within 12 h of surgery. Her primary graft dysfunction score was grade 2, 1, and 1 at 0, 12, and 24 h, respectively. Approximately 24 h after the procedure, she complained of increasing shortness of breath without fever, chills, cough, or pleuritic chest pain.Copyright © 2022 American College of Chest Physicians.
