Lung transplant candidates with significant severe pulmonary artery dilation and concomitant pulmonary valve disease present a unique technical challenge. Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) replacement at the time of double lung transplant is a feasible and safe option in this population. Reconstruction can be carried out using either the RVOT from the lung donor or a valve homograft conduit.
