| Popis: | We have presented a successful case of lung transplantation in a man with pulmonary fibrosis. We believe it is the first successful attempt in the United States, following demonstration of its feasibility in Toronto, Canada. Twenty years after the first lung transplantation, several factors have evolved that help to secure a successful outcome, including a strong, dynamic organ procurement system; static, hypothermic lung preservation; omental wrapping of the bronchial anastomosis; improved immunosuppressive agents; and improved postoperative care. |
