THE ONLY SOLUTION: Despite significant progress in the management of patients with multiple sclerosis, lung transplantation remains the only chance for survival in those with severe respiratory failure. WAITING LIST INCLUSION CRITERIA: Lung function tests, the patientís general states and psychological and familial factors all contribute to determining inscription on lung transplantation waiting lists. TECHNICAL ASPECTS: Heart-lung, monoblock two-lung and sequential two-lung transplantations are detailed according to the respective advantages and disadvantages. RESULTS: Hospital mortality is about 5% and 5-year survival about 50%. However, only 10% of the patients on waiting lists due to the lack of organs survive for 2 years. PERSPECTIVES: The number of grafts must be increased by developing lobular grafts from live donors using the bipartition technique. Nevertheless, xenografts remain the most promising perspective for increasing the number of patients who can benefit from this therapy.
