Incidental pulmonary embolism (PE) is a challenging entity with unclear treatment implications. Our program performs routine ventilation‐perfusion (VQ) scans at 3‐months post‐transplant to establish airway and vascular function. We sought to determine the prevalence and prognostic implications of mismatched perfusion defects (MMPD) found on these studies, hypothesizing they would be associated with a benign prognosis.
