Abstract

Pregnancy following lung transplantation has been described, but pregnancy following living donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLT) has not been reported. LDLT was originally developed to decrease transplant waiting list mortality due to a lack of available organs. As female patients with LDLT matured, physicians were faced with advising patients on family planning. Generally, most physicians recommend abstaining from pregnancy after lung transplantation due to the required alterations in immunosuppressive therapy that could increase the risk of rejection.
