Investigative Radiology, 1989
Since the successful clinical reintroduction of heart and lung transplantation in 1981, more than 350 of these procedures have been performed worldwide. Although survival following this operation is less than that reported for heart transplantation, the results are improving. It is clear that the increased technical difficulty of the procedure combined

The Evolution of Heart Transplantation
Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2000Now that heart transplantation is a common therapeutic modality, it has lost much of its earlier mystique. Numerous issues related to donor allocation, immunosuppression, quality-of-life of the recipient, patient selection, cost-effectiveness, and a myriad of ethical considerations remain.

Transplantation of the Heart and Lungs
1988In 1957 Webb and Howard reported six cardiopulmonary transplants in dogs, with survival ranging from 75 minutes to 22 hours [1]. Subsequent experiments in dogs produced longer survival, with Lower and Shumway achieving 5 days survival [2], and Grinnan et al. reporting survival for up to 10 days in a series of 25 transplants [3].

Apoptosis in heart transplantation
Coronary Artery Disease, 1997Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a mechanism of cell death that plays a major role during development, homeostasis, and in many disease states. The interaction of the cell membrance protein, Fas, with its ligand, Fas ligand, induces apoptosis in Fas-bearing cells.
