Department of Radiology, Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, Dallas, Texas.

To the radiologist, complications of lung transplant are believed to occur along a time continuum, which is key given the nonspecific clinical and imaging findings. Pulmonary artery twisting in the immediate and early postoperative period is a known complication of transplantation, but receives relatively little attention. Early recognition is paramount due to the high morbidity and mortality of such a complication. This case highlights some imaging manifestations of the pulmonary artery.
