Özet
We report the first successful double-lung transplantation in all age groups as well as the first lung transplantation in the pediatric age group in our country. A 14-year-old male who was oxygen dependent for the last three years was diagnosed with septic lung disease and bronchiolitis obliterans. He was followed-up by the "heart and lung transplantation group" of our hospital for approximately one year under non-invasive mechanical ventilatory support while on the lung transplantation waiting list. A sequential double lung transplantation was performed on April 08, 2009. He is now on his 11th month postoperatively and is healthy.
