AB  - Living  lobar  lung  transplantation  was  developed  as  an  alternative  to  deceased  donor  lung  transplantation  because  of  the  shortage  of  acceptable  donor  organs.1,2  In  living  lobar  lung  transplantation,  two  healthy  donors  are  selected—one  to  undergo  removal  of  the  right  lower  lobe  and  the  other  to  undergo  removal  of  the  left  lower  lobe.  These  lobes  then  are  implanted  in  the  recipient  in  place  of  whole  right  and  left  lungs.  This  technique  has  proved  to  be  beneficial  to  a  group  of  patients  who  otherwise  would  have  succumbed  to  disease  while  awaiting  lungs  from  a  conventional  deceased  donor.3
