Since January 1988, the Bordeaux group has performed 15 transplantations for lung disease: 9 heart-lung transplants, 1 heart + left lung, 1 double lung, 2 right lungs and 2 left lungs. The transplantations were performed for pulmonary emphysema (10 cases), pulmonary artery hypertension (2 cases), cystic fibrosis (1 case), pulmonary fibrosis (2 cases). Cardiopulmonary transplantation was not always performed because of associated heart failure but sometimes because of large intrahilar adenopathy or intractable bronchial infection. Pulmonary transplantation is recommended on the right side in cases of pulmonary fibrosis. One patient died postoperatively (ischaemia of the transplant). Four others died during the 2nd and 3rd months from poorly defined but probably infectious pulmonary syndromes. The tracheobronchial patency of the 10 survivors was 80% or 100% of the predicted value. The respiratory functional result was excellent in the short and intermediate term. Specific difficulties essentially consisted of pleural symphyses, hilar adenopathy, bronchial infection, steroid dependence of certain subjects, the difficulty of identifying the cause and treating lung opacities during the 2nd and 3rd months.
