Late unilateral pulmonary edema in single lung transplant recipients.

In this study we describe 3 single lung transplant recipients who developed unilateral pulmonary edema in the setting of cardiac and renal dysfunction. All 3 patients responded to diuresis with clinical and radiographic improvement. Unilateral cardiogenic pulmonary edema should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dyspnea and unilateral radiographic infiltrates in single lung transplant recipients.
