Between 1987 and 1992, thirty-seven heart-lung transplant recipients had a postmortem examination at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Teaching Hospital in Paris, France. Except for three patients who survived 2 months, 4 months and 16 months after transplantation, respectively, most patients died in the early postoperative period (mean survival time = 34.6 days). Autopsy disclosed minor acute heart rejection in four patients and minor acute lung rejection in three patients. Five patients had obliterating bronchiolitis that was the cause of death in two cases. Main causes of death included perioperative pleural bleeding, respiratory infection with or without septicemia, diffuse alveolar lesions (adult respiratory distress syndrome and/or pulmonary edema undergoing organization) and multiple organ failure. Hemodynamic and respiratory complications responsible for multiple organ failure in the perioperative period, as well as pre-existing morbid conditions such as cirrhosis of the liver induced by heart failure, may have a major bearing on the outcome of heart-lung transplantations.
