[Allogeneic heart-lung transplantation--present state and perspectives].
The paper gives a survey of indication, technique, immunosuppression as well as results of the isolated heart transplantation. The isolated heart transplantation represents a genuine therapeutic alternative for many hopeless patients with heart disease who cannot be helped neither with medicamentous nor with the usual cardiosurgical methods. In future the combined heart-lung transplantation might be an essential enlargement of the treatment of patients with terminal heart diseases and with a pulmonary hypertension or of patients with a terminal pulmonary disease.
