Anastomotic stenosis of the pulmonary artery after lung transplantation is a rare complication, which commonly necessitates surgical correction. Transesophageal Doppler sonography and pulmonary arteriogram are standard diagnostic means for visualization of venous and arterial anastomoses. Balloon dilatation combined with implantation of a vascular endoprosthesis was successfully used for treatment of severe anastomotic stenosis of the pulmonary artery after lung transplantation.
