Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Pulmonology
  • Transplant Immunology

Context:

  • Heart-lung transplantation is a complex procedure for end-stage cardiopulmonary diseases.
  • Brazil's initial experience provides valuable data for establishing this surgical option.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the initial clinical outcomes of heart-lung transplantation in Brazil.
  • To document the surgical methodology and early complications.

Summary:

  • Four patients underwent heart-lung transplantation between 1988 and 1990 for conditions including cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and silicosis.
  • Postoperative complications included bleeding, acute pulmonary rejection, and bronchiolitis.
  • Survival varied, with one patient asymptomatic at eight months, while another experienced early mortality.
