Abstract
Heart-lung and lung transplantation are accepted treatments for patients with end-stage pulmonary vascular disease or parenchymal lung disease [4, 5, 10]. Survival rates for heart-lung and lung transplantation are lower than those for heart transplantation alone. The 5-year actuarial survival forheart-lung transplantation has been 41% largely due to rejection and infection remaining as the limiting factors for long-term survival [3].
