Heart-lung transplantation is reserved for selected patients who have end-stage cardiac and pulmonary disease. Gastroparesis, which is associated with aspiration, is commonly seen after transplantation. Here, we present a case in which gastric contents aspiration leads to Pseudomonas aeruginosa pulmonary infection, 11 months after the heart lung transplantation. We strongly recommend that early diagnosis and aggressive management of post-transplantation gastroparesis is essential to prevent lung allograft injury and pulmonary infections.
心肺移植是为患有终末期心肺疾病的特定患者保留的。移植后常发生与吸入相关的胃轻瘫。本文报告了一例心肺移植 11 个月后,胃内容物吸入导致铜绿假单胞菌肺部感染的病例。我们强烈建议,早期诊断和积极治疗移植后胃轻瘫对于预防肺移植物损伤和肺部感染至关重要。
