Abstract

Empyema after lung transplantation causes dysfunction of the allograft, and it has the potential to cause mortality and morbidity, but the technical difficulty of surgically treating this empyema makes this type of treatment unfavorable. We report here on two cases of decortication for empyema after lung transplantation.

이식 후 발생하는 농흉은 이식 폐의 기능 부전을 유발할 뿐만 아니라, 이환율과 사망률을 높이는 중요한 합병증이지만 수술적인 치료는 기술적인 어려움 때문에 시행하기 어렵다. 저자들은 이식 후 발생한 2예의 농흉에 대해 흉막 박피술을 시행하여 이를 보고한다.
