Abstract

Kartagener syndrome (KS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by situs inversus, paranasal sinusitis and bronchiectasis. We report the successful use of double lung transplant (DLTx) to treat end-stage KS. A 49-year-old Han woman was admitted to Renmin Hospital (Wuhan University, China) in September 2017 with a ≥15 year history of chronic productive cough that had worsened during the past year. Clinical examination and imaging investigations revealed respiratory failure and situs inversus consistent with KS. The patient was successfully treated with DLTx involving bilateral bronchial anastomoses. DLTx is a feasible treatment option for end-stage KS.
