Retransplantation for COVID-19-related lung graft failure: A case report of successful outcome in a critically ill lung transplant recipient
End-stage lung disease from nonrecovered COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome has become an increasingly frequent indication for lung transplant. Although reports of lung transplant recipients (LTRs) with COVID-19 suggest an increased risk for hospitalization, respiratory failure, and death,...

| description | End-stage lung disease from nonrecovered COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome has become an increasingly frequent indication for lung transplant. Although reports of lung transplant recipients (LTRs) with COVID-19 suggest an increased risk for hospitalization, respiratory failure, and death, little is known about retransplant for COVID-19-related lung graft failure. In this manuscript, we present a 49-year-old man who received bilateral lung retransplantation for COVID-19-related lung graft failure, 7½ years after his initial transplant for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Our case suggests that retransplantation may be a viable option for critically ill LTRs with COVID-19-related graft failure, even in the presence of other organ dysfunction, provided that they are in good condition and have an immunologically favorable donor. |
