AbstractRedo lung transplantation remains a major clinical challenge and its indication for patients with early allograft dysfunction is difficult to determine. We report a case of potentially fatal early allograft dysfunction owing to possible acute cellular rejection after single lung transplantation in a patient who underwent redo double lung transplantation after successful use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge, which resulted in a successful outcome.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
