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.
