Sumario:We present a case of a 57-year-old man who underwent bilateral lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. His immediately post-operative course was complicated by fever and cardiac arrest. Despite supportive care and broad-spectrum antibiotics, he experienced continued clinical decline. Autopsy results indicated angioinvasive mucormycosis and coronary arteritis resulting in acute myocardial infarction as the cause of death.
