title: Amiodarone pulmonary toxicity after lung transplantation.
abstract: Atrial fibrillation occurs frequently after lung transplantation and is commonly treated with amiodarone. Pulmonary toxicity may result from amiodarone exposure and is characterized by non-specific respiratory manifestations. To our knowledge, there are no reports of this complication occurring after lung transplantation. We present a patient who developed radiologic evidence of amiodarone deposition in the lungs after bilateral lung transplantation.
