Ct chest without contrast (b)(6) 2019: postoperative change from bilateral lung transplant, eccentric nonocclusive filling defect within the right main pulmonary artery proximal to the pulmonary artery anastomosis measuring 2. 9 x 1. 6 cm. Findings are consistent with thrombus; however, the chronicity is uncertain and could be acute or chronic; new bilateral groundglass and patchy consolidative opacities most severely affecting the left upper lobe. Findings favor multifocal infection; diffuse mosaic attenuation of the lungs most commonly associated with air trapping / constrictive bronchiolitis; new 4mm right upper lobe nodule may be inflammatory, however recommend 3 month f/u to ensure stability; aortic and coronary artery atherosclerosis. Stable mild dilation of the mid ascending aorta measuring 4 cm. The main pulmonary artery is dilated; pneumobilia which is new from the prior correlate with interval interventions.
