Pregnancy in a single lung transplant recipient can be complicated by progressive deterioration in pulmonary function due to accelerated obliterative bronchiolitis.
May warrant close pulmonary monitoring in pregnant lung transplant recipients; single case leaves open generalizability and management strategies.
Successful pregnancy in a single lung transplant recipient has not been reported previously. The long term effect of pregnancy on graft function and management of deteriorating pulmonary function is not defined. This case describes the management, outcome, and problems encountered when a single lung transplant recipient developed a progressive deterioration in pulmonary function during pregnancy, attributed to accelerated obliterative bronchiolitis.
