Successful Lung Transplantation for Severe Post COVID-19 Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Lung transplantation has been well described for COVID-19 patients in the acute setting, but less so for the resulting pulmonary sequelae. We share one of the first cases of lung transplantation for post COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis. A 52-year-old female developed COVID-19 in July 2020 and mounted a partial recovery, but went on to have declining function over the ensuing three months and developed fibrocystic lung changes. She underwent bilateral lung transplantation and recovered rapidly, was discharged home POD 14, and has done well in follow-up. We demonstrate that lung transplantation is an acceptable therapy to treat post COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis.
