A 43 year-old female, who underwent bilateral lung transplantation for Eisenmenger syndrome 10 years previously, visited our hospital complaining of progressive severe dyspnea. She was diagnosed as having bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, which was presumably caused by chronic graft rejection following lung transplantation. Due to the aggravated dyspnea despite medical treatment, she required ventilator care and then she underwent lung retransplantation. We report here on a case of lung retransplantation for treating chronic graft rejection following the previous lung transplantation for the first time in Korea.

It has been suggested that cesarean section should be avoided in pregnancies complicated by Eisenmenger's syndrome becauae of high surgical mortality. We had a successful experience of balanced anesthesia for the elective cesarean section on a 25-year-old woman with Eisenmenger's syndrome using demerol, valium and pancuronlum, We did not notice any significant change in blood pressure or blood gas values during perianesthetic period. Careful hemodynamic monitoring is mandatory during perianeathetic period.

Eisenmenger's syndrome is the disease of right to left shunt developing from the increased pulmonary vascular resistance caused by excessive pulmonary blood flow in patients with abnormal connections of systemic to pulmonary blood passage. The heart-lung transplantation was the only curative method in early transplantation period, but good results after bilateral lung transplantation have been reported as the fact that right heart function improved by only lung transplantation. We successfully carried out bilateral sequential single lung transplantation in a 34-year-old female patient with Eisenmenger's syndrome with large PDA. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

Eisenmenger syndrome is defined as pulmonary hypertension at or close to systemic values, with an intracardiac or aortopulmonary communication resulting a bidirectional or right-to-left shunt.Patients with Eisenmenger syndrome require a close monitoring while undergoing non-cardiac surgery because these patients are very vulnerable to alteration in hemodynamics induced by anesthetics or surgery.Therefore we report the successful management of a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome undergoing a dacryocystorhinostomy under desflurane and ketamine based general anesthesia.

Proximal pulmonary artery aneurysms and dissection are rare and life-threatening conditions, which are usually detected only during autopsy examination in cases of sudden death. These pathological entities often occur as complications of chronic pulmonary hypertension and most commonly result from pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with various congenital cardiac lesions involving left-to-right shunting. This study describes an autopsy case of a 38-year-old man who was diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome 5 years prior to sudden death secondary to cardiac tamponade following a ruptured pulmonary trunk aneurysm.
