Abstract
A 57-year-old woman with a past medical history of progressive bronchiectasis was referred for lung transplantation. During the preoperative assessment, a chest computed tomographic scan confirmed severe end-stage pulmonary disease and posterior compression of the left atrium and inferior pulmonary veins due to the hyperexpansion of the right lower pulmonary lobe (Figs 1, 2; AV = aortic valve; LA = left atrium; LIV = left inferior pulmonary vein; LSV = left superior pulmonary vein; LV = left ventricle; PV = pulmonary valve; RA = right atrium; RIV = right inferior pulmonary vein; RLL = right lower pulmonary lobe; RV = right ventricle; RSV = right superior pulmonary vein).
