Left hilar exposure can be challenging during bilateral sequential lung transplantation, particularly in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis due to the overlying heart and limited space. We describe a cost-effective technique that has been used in off-pump cardiopulmonary bypass to retract the heart away from the left hilum, without causing hemodynamic instability, thereby allowing implantation of the left lung without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
