[Results and current status of experimental lung transplantation].

The most important findings of autogenous and allogenous lung transplantations in this article. The balance of clinic lung transplantation so far are not encouraging. However they gave new impulses to the animal experiments while they demonstrated that patients with disseminated pathologic pulmonary alterations principally are an another basis for lung transplantation than pulmonary healthy animals. It is tried to derive the next problems of the experimental lung transplantation from the abundance of open questions. Simultaneous it is pointed to that only in ingenious division of labour between many scientic and medical disciplines it is possible to get decisive results with these the risk of further clinical transplantations can be diminished.
