The ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 3 (ABCA3) protein plays a fundamental role in surfactant homeostasis. Most children with ABCA3 gene mutations develop pulmonary interstitial fibrosis leading to the development of interstitial lung disease. Since traditional medicine does not offer effective therapy, the best option is lung transplantations, especially bilateral lung transplantations. We are reporting the case of a successful bilateral lung transplantation in a five-year-old child with pulmonary interstitial fibrosis caused by ABCA3 gene mutations. This successful transplantation enabled the patient to get rid of chronic cough and tachypnea.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a type of pulmonary hypertension with a low incidence. Despite pulmonary endarterectomy(PEA) being the preferred treatment for CTEPH, for patients who failed medical therapy and who are not suitable candidates for PEA, lung transplantation (LT) is still the only effective treatment for end-stage CTEPH; however, there are currently very few reports on the efficacy of LT for CTEPH.
