[Uni- and bilateral lung transplantation: functional results. Vienna Lung Transplant Group].
At the end of December 1990 11 patients had survived lung transplantation at the 2nd Department of Surgery, University of Vienna. In these patients 7 single lung (SLTX) and four bilateral lung transplantations (DLTX) were performed. The indication for operation in 6 cases was emphysema, in 2 cases mucoviscidosis, in 2 cases pulmonary fibrosis, and in 1 case secondary pulmonary hypertension, following operation of a ductus Botalli. By means of fitness tests, blood-gas analysis, pulmonary function tests and ventilation respectively perfusion scan a marked improvement of the clinical status of the patients following lung transplantation could be shown.
