Experimental studies on heterotopic lung transplantation during temporary pulmonary insufficiency.

abstract：:Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal inherited disease of Caucasians. At present, cystic fibrosis accounts for most cases of chronic progressive pulmonary disease and for many other clinical features in the first three decades of life. Thus, it is a challenge to both pediatricians and internists, particularly ches...
