Benign tumors of the endobronchial tree are rare, and among them endobronchial lipoma is the least common. It is histologically benign in character but may cause bronchial obstruction. We describe a case of a 68-year-old woman with an endobronchial lipoma arising in the left lower lobe bronchus who had been treated for frequent chest infections for the past 3 years.

A 69-year-old man presented with a chronic Stanford Type A aortic dissection (CTAAD). The patient had undergone bilateral sequential lung transplantation 15 years prior for α-1-antitrypsin deficiency. We describe the management of CTAAD in the context of lung transplantation from the surgical and anesthetic perspectives.
