Bilateral living-donor lobar lung transplantation is a procedure for patients considered too ill to await cadaveric transplantation. In this relatively new procedure, right and left lower lobes from two healthy donors are implanted in the recipient in place of the whole right and left lungs, respectively. The surgical aspects of the right and left donor lobectomy, the donor lobe back-table preservation technique, and the recipient bilateral pneumonectomy and bilateral lobar implantation under cardiopulmonary bypass are shown.

Key Words: Living-donor • Lung transplantation • Primary pulmonary hypertension
