“…A completely different approach of size reduced lung transplantation is the living related or unrelated lobar donation, first only used in cystic fibrosis patients, however, now used in recipients with other diagnoses as well [8]. If the use of other size reduction techniques gains a more widespread use, allowing a more efficient use of available cadaveric donor organs-especially for pediatric recipients-the need for living donation might be considerably reduced.…”

“…8,9 The implantation of the lobes was performed through a "clamshell" incision for double lung transplantations. Bronchial anastomosis was performed using end-to-end anastomoses or telescoped anastomoses with running sutures for the membranous part, and interrupted single stitches for the cartilaginous part, using 3-0 nonresorbable monofi lament for the fi rst 60 anastomoses, and a running suture for both the membranous and the cartilaginous parts for the next 27 anastomoses.…”

Two decades have passed since the first successful clinical lung transplant was performed in 1983, and, in the interim, lung transplantation has become the preferred treatment option for a variety of end-stage pulmonary diseases. Remarkable progress has been made in the field through refinement of technique and improved understanding of transplant immunology and microbiology.Unfortunately, donor shortages continue to limit the more widespread application of lung transplantation. In order to address this issue, marginal donors, living lobar and split lung donor techniques, and nonheartbeating donors have been used clinically to increase the number of donor lungs available.Chronic rejection of the lung allograft is currently the major hurdle limiting longterm survival. To date, prevention of known risk factors and treatment strategies have not lessened the devastating toll this process has on lung transplant survival. Better understanding of the cause of chronic rejection is needed in order to develop novel strategies for its treatment. Promotion of immune tolerance is a promising area that could potentially eliminate chronic rejection.The present article discusses recent advances in lung transplantation. It also details the major issues facing the field today. Only through continued clinical and experimental investigation will lung transplantation eventually reach its full potential.
