ObjectiveAfter single lung transplantation for emphysema, the volume of the graft at total lung capacity is usually less than its predicted volume in the donor. We sought to determine the contributions of donor–recipient size matching, postoperative native lung hyperinflation, and postoperative chest wall volume reduction to graft restriction after transplantation.MethodsIn 19 patients, we estimated individual lung volumes from thoracic computed tomographs taken near total lung capacity before and after single lung transplantation for emphysema to analyze sources of graft restriction. Pulmonary function was assessed by spirometry, and in 5 patients, inspiratory function was assessed with esophageal manometry.ResultsGraft volumes after trans...
