A 54-year-old man underwent single-lung transplantation due to interstitial pneumonia. The patient required circulatory support with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and was unable to be weaned from ventilatory support with nitric oxide. Although enhanced CT scanning showed stenotic anastomosis of the right pulmonary artery (PA), pulmonary angiograph findings revealed that PA flow was normal under sedation and considerably decreased with spontaneous breathing. Fluoroscopy showed that the right diaphragm moved inversely to the position of the left diaphragm, indicating that the right phrenic nerve was paralytic. We performed diaphragmatic plication 7 days after lung transplantation and weaning from ventilator support was accomplished soon thereafter. Phrenic nerve dysfunction is an important clinical problem following lung transplantation. In the present case, diaphragmatic plication was effective for treatment of circulatory failure due to phrenic nerve paralysis even in acute phase after lung transplantation. 展开更多
