LUNG TRANSPLANTATION KARTONIERT (TB)

Clinical lung transplantation has seen an early start within the history of solid organ trans
plantation  marked by the 1963 first lung transplant by James D. Hardy. This was prompted by
the seemingly easy way of joining the transplanted organ to the recipient by me ans of a few
well-defined anastomoses  i.e. bronchus  pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein carry ing left
atrial cuff. The following decade thus witnessed a number of such mostly unilateral lung
transplants in several centres  in Germany represented by the two only lung transplants
performed by E. S. Bücherl  then at the Neukölln City Hospital in Berlin in 1969. As with most
other such attempts these two patients suffered early and lethai graft failure. There was only
one single lung transplant patient who lived up to ten months after the transplant at Gent 
Belgium  having been operated on by Derom in 1969. The alm ost universal failure during this
initial phase was attributed to bronchial anasto motic insufficiency  pulmonary infection of
either the transplanted lung or the left-in-place contralateral lung and a far-reaching lack of
knowledge how to cope with transplant rejec tion. In the early 1970s it had become gene rally
accepted that lung transplantation could not be performed successfully.
