[The first successful bilateral lung transplantation in Russia].
Lung transplantation is one of the most difficult fields of contemporary transplantology. The operation was performed on a 53-year-old female who had been suffering from terminal stage COPD. The period of cold ischemia for the right and left lung was 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours 25 minutes respectively. The total operation time was 4 hours and 40 minutes. There were no surgical complications. There were no signs of transplant rejection 6 weeks after the operation. The considerable decrease in dispnea and increase in quality of life were registered during the follow-up. FEV1 was increased by 80% and 6 minute walk test distance was increased by 200 meters.
