title: [Modified low-potassium dextran solution in heart-lung transplantation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the application of modified low-potassium dextran (LPD) solution in heart-lung transplantation.
  
  
  METHODS
  We used the modified LPD as the lung flush solution of the donor in the first heart-lung transplantation procedure in Hunan.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient survived 555 days after the surgery and severe infection, lung disfunction or severe graft rejection never occurred.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Modified LPD as lung flush solution of the donor during heart-lung transplantation demonstrates an excellent effect of lung protection.
