- Title
TRANSPLANTATION OF THE LUNG -- RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT.
- Authors
Blumenstock, David A.; Ferrebee, Joseph W.
- Abstract
A brief historical review of transplantation of the lung in experimental animals and man has been presented. The unresolved problem of prevention of rejection, in vitro preservation, source of donor organs and lack of a suitable device for support of the patient with respiratory insufficiency have been mentioned. Preliminary successful results of four new methods of transplantation of the lung not requiring postoperative immunosuppression are presented as examples of alternate methods of preventing rejection in lung transplantation.
