Abstract
A 21-year-old patient presented with a short history of fatigue and dyspnea on a background of a double lung transplant for cystic fibrosis and pre-existing chronic superior vena cava obstruction (SVCO). Computed tomography of the chest demonstrated a 3-cm mass occluding the right pulmonary veins, with associated right upper and lower lobe parenchymal pulmonary infiltrates. Two invasive procedures were performed with similar complications in both procedures.
