Successful Lung Transplantation for Severe Post-COVID-19 Pulmonary Fibrosis

Lung transplantation has been well described for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the acute setting, but less so for the resulting pulmonary sequelae. This report describes a case of lung transplantation for post–COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis. A 52-year-old woman contracted COVID-1...

description Lung transplantation has been well described for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the acute setting, but less so for the resulting pulmonary sequelae. This report describes a case of lung transplantation for post–COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis. A 52-year-old woman contracted COVID-19 in July 2020 and mounted a partial recovery, but she went on to have declining function over the ensuing 3 months, with development of fibrocystic lung changes. She underwent bilateral lung transplantation and recovered rapidly, was discharged home on postoperative day 14, and has done well in follow-up. This case report demonstrates that lung transplantation is an acceptable therapy for post–COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis.
