Popis: Until 1984, cystic fibrosis (CF) was considered as a contra-indication to lung transplantation for the following reasons: 1) The importance of the bronchopulmonary sepsis with polyresistant organisms inducing an increased post-operative risk. 2) The persistence of the native trachea and infected sinuses with a potential for mid-term additional septic risk in immunosuppressed patients. 3) The systemic aspect of the disease, with continuous pancreatic and hepatic evolving disease. 4) The unknown risk of constitution of the disease on the transplanted lung.
