title: [Reduction of native lung volume after single-lung transplantation for emphysema].
abstract: We report three cases of volume reduction surgery in three single lung transplant recipients with emphysema. Each patient had a late decline in lung function with hyper-inflation of the native lung. Lung function was improved post-operatively for two patients. The relief of thoracic overdistension may be considered in single lung transplant recipients who exhibit clinical significant functional deterioration.
