title: [En-block bilateral lung transplantation: experiments in dogs].
abstract: En-block bilateral lung transplantation was performed in dogs according to methods introduced by Dark et al and Patterson et al. Under the extra-corporeal bypass the donor's trachea, atrium and pulmonary artery trunk were anastomosed to those of recipient, respectively. Five dogs receiving bilateral lung transplantation died after a short period survival because of hemodynamic insufficiency postoperatively. Although the aim of the experiment in this series was the follow-up trial of double lung transplantation, in consequence the poor prognoses were gained, we believe the long-term survival may be possible by the device skill in the technique.
