Lung, 1992
Advances in solid organ transplantation over the last several decades have made human lung transplantation a realistic possibility for selected patients with end-stage lung disease. A review of clinical indications, proper patient selection, and long-term management is presented.

The supply of donor organs remains extremely limited, and improved methods of maintaining the lungs of potential donors to allow for transplantation must be developed. Currently the upper limit of donor lung ischemic even with our "best" preservation techniques is approximately 4 to 6 hours. Improved methods for preservation will increase the supply of

Disease-a-Month, 1994
Solid-organ transplantation has flourished during the last decade, with transplantation of heart and lungs becoming available to patients with end-stage cardiac or pulmonary diseases. The first lung transplant was performed in 1963 on a 58-year-old man with bronchogenic carcinoma. He survived for 18 days.

Lung transplantation is an appropriate therapeutic option for select patients with end-stage lung diseases and offers the possibility of improved quality of life and longer survival. Unfortunately, the transplant recipient is at risk for numerous immunologic, infectious, and medical complications that threaten both of these goals. Median survival after

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1998
Although we have not yet obtained the survival results that have been observed in heart and renal transplantation, the survival rate in lung transplantation is improving. Because the lung is the only organ that is continuously exposed to the environment after transplantation, infection continues to be the major cause of early and late morbidity and ...

The Clinical Investigator, 1993
The indications and results of single and double lung transplantation are described on the basis of 66 operations performed by the authors and on the background of the world literature. Lung transplantation is considered a new and promising therapeutic mode for treating patients with end-stage pulmonary failure related to fibrosis, emphysema, infective

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1986
Over the past 20 years, many advances in surgical methods, transplantation immunology, donor organ procurement and preservation techniques, and postsurgical care regimens have influenced greatly the field of lung transplantation. The single remaining obstacle to widespread clinical success is donor lung availability.
