Lung and Heart Lung Transplantation: Survival Data Concerning 100 Transplants Carried Out in 95 Patients at the L. Pradel University Hospital, Lyon

Between July 1st 1988 and Dec 31th 1995, 112 patients presenting terminal pulmonary and infectious pulmonary disease received lung transplants at Louis Pradel. In recent years we have published data concerning functional improvement due to transplantation in Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, Pulmonary Sepsis and Emphysema, etc. We have also addressed lung preservation, viral infection and the use of the Gianturco metal stent in bronchial complications. The aim of the current study is to establish 3 year survival data in 95 patients having received 100 transplants between 1988 and 1994.
