Lung transplantation update.

This review has indicated that there is decreased activity in research of experimental lung transplantation and a virtual cessation of lung transplants in man. Several groups are continuing active research in various aspects of the lung transplantation problems, but it is suspected that a greater effort will be required before transplantation of the lung will become commonplace for human patients. In the appendix attached to the bibliography, we have attempted to identify groups of investigators by geographic locations in the hope of allowing a better comprehension of where and by whom research and lung transplantation is being conducted so that better communication can be established among workers in the field.
