    Abstract:
    Bilateral single lung transplantation (BSLT) (the procedure of choice for double lung replacement) and single lung transplantation (SLT) have at present a low incidence of anastomotic problems. In our experience, we have recorded no death related to anastomotic problems and 4 complications occurred for 33 anastomoses with a follow up of at least 2 months. A stent was temporarily inserted for two patients. The decrease of anastomotic complications is confirmed in the literature. It is one of the reasons why the number of SLT and BSLT performed all over the world increases rapidily to the detriment of heart lung transplantation.
