We believe that contralateral single lung transplantation after graft pneumonectomy has not been reported yet in the literature. We present the case of an emphysematous patient who received a unilateral left lung transplant and had severe stenosis in bronchial anastomosis and bronchiectasis develop. Four years after transplantation we decided to perform a left pneumonectomy and a delayed right lung transplantation. Nine months after the procedure the patient is ambulatory and is not dependent on oxygen support.
