Fig 1 In a 21-year-old woman presenting with progressive dyspnea after double-lung transplantation, the chest roentgenogram shows right parenchymal infiltrates. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , e9-e11DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2019 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 Contrast-enhanced axial computed tomographic images demonstrate the following: (A) a right hilar soft tissue attenuation mass (arrowhead) invading the right pulmonary vein and left atrium; (B) multiple enlarged right paratracheal lymph nodes (arrowheads) and extensive chest wall collateral veins (arrows) secondary to superior vena cava occlusion; (C) clustered right upper lobe nodules with perilesional ground-glass opacity (arrow) and marked subpleural sparing (arrowheads) likely reflecting normal pleural lymphatic drainage but impaired peribronchovascular lymphatic drainage; and (D) smooth interlobular septal lines and nodular ground-glass opacity in the right lung base (arrows); the asymmetric pattern is likely reflective of unilateral pulmonary venous obstruction.

Fig 3 Contrast-enhanced axial computed tomographic images. (A) Right upper lobe nodules with surrounding ground-glass attenuation, suggestive of angioinvasive aspergillosis or pulmonary venous infarction. (B) Improvement is demonstrated 2 months after the initiation of antifungal therapy. (C) Right lower lobe interlobular septal thickening and a small pleural effusion that (D) is markedly improved at 2 months.
