Abstract:
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the first successful human lung transplant performed by Hardy et al., it seems prudent to review the preliminary research, the operative procedure, and the outcome of this significant operation. I have also attempted to establish the primacy of this operation for James Daniel Hardy.
