(A, B) Pneumonectomy with combined resection of the superior vena cava (SVC) was done after an innominate vein–right atrial bypass was performed. (C) The ex situ resection of the right lower lobe (RLL) and trimming of the graft for autotransplantation were performed after lung preservation. (D) First, the lower bronchus of the graft was anastomosed to the main bronchus, and then the lower pulmonary vein of the graft was anastomosed to the remaining upper pulmonary venous stump. Finally, the pulmonary artery (PA) was anastomosed by the intermediary of autologous pericardial tube. (IPV = inferior pulmonary vein; LLL = left lower lobe; LUL = left upper lobe; RUL = right upper lobe; SPV = superior pulmonary vein.)
