All children had terminal pulmonary or cardiopulmonary disease. Eight children died one day to 21 months after operation. Actuarial survival was 76% (SEM 10) at 1 year and 60% (SEM 12) at 3 and 4 years after transplantation. 13 children were alive, and all took part in all age-appropriate activities.
