Amiodarone pulmonary toxicity after lung transplantation.
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.
