We describe a simple method of augmenting pulmonary veins using the donor pericardium in lung grafts which have been procured without an adequate donor left atrial cuff. The method allows making use of lungs procured with suboptimal surgical technique, such as those with short atrial cuffs or completely separated superior and inferior pulmonary veins. We also have applied it equally successfully on the right lung.
