A hole lot of trouble: Severe bilateral anastomotic dehiscence following bilateral single sequential lung transplant.

Airway complications post lung transplant including ischaemia and dehiscence have a significant associated mortality (2%-4%) and morbidity. We describe a case of a 22-year-old female who developed significant bilateral anastomotic dehiscence with severe ischaemia following a bilateral single sequential lung transplant (BSSLTx). Following an intensive antimicrobial regimen, judicious bronchoscopic surveillance, and a prolonged inpatient stay, the dehiscence resolved without requiring further surgical intervention. Our case highlights a space in the literature for further research with regard to airway complications post-lung transplant and their management.
