title: [The first simultaneous double unilateral lung transplantation in Spain: clinical course and results. Transplantation Group].
abstract: Unilateral lung transplantation of two organs allows two patients to benefit from a single donor. We report the first and only such transplants--carried out simultaneously in the same surgical unit--to be performed in Spain to date. The diagnosis was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in both cases and the donor came from the same hospital. No complications developed during the subsequent hospital stay. Two years later, both patients are asymptomatic and carrying out normal activities with no limitations.
