Her chest radiograph and computerized tomography (CT) showed bilateral multiple cystic changes, predominantly in the right lung, and some mosaic pattern with low attenuation areas (Fig. 1A and B). Her graft lungs also recovered without problems (Fig. 1C and D).
Liver cirrhosis before and after lung transplantation. (A) Preoperative abdominal CT image showing cirrhosis and splenomegaly and (B) abdominal CT image on POD16 showing ascites. Compared with preoperatively (C), an abdominal radiograph (D) on POD 18 showed an increase in ascites. The ascites improved after starting diuretics.

Findings on CT images and ultrasound suggested liver cirrhosis (Fig. 2A); however, no tissue diagnosis was made. A CT scan taken on POD 18 showed encapsulated bilateral pleural effusions and ascites (Fig. 2B-D). Continued oral diuretics and bilateral chest tube drainage improved her condition (Fig. 2E).
