Living Donor Lung Transplantation After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation From the Same Donor: A Risk Worth Taking
We report a successful case of father-to-child single-lobe LT, because of the complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from the same donor, with initial low-dose immunosuppressive therapy and subsequent early discontinuation. Full donor chimerism was hypothesized to be a mechanism of transplant tolerance, and this postulated immunological benefit was deemed to outweigh the risks of living donation and the possible drawbacks of single compared with bilateral LT. Favorable size matching and donor's anatomy, accurate surgical planning, and specific expertise in pediatric transplantation also contributed to the...

Prior CT angiography of the head and neck showed no relevant neurologic findings but did reveal miliary lesions in the lung apices, which was later confirmed via dedicated CT chest scan (Fig 1). Review of systems was negative for any respiratory, constitutional, or rheumatologic symptoms, except for new xanthelasma-like lesions over her forehead. She previously had smoked with 20 pack-years...
