Overview
The first combined heart-lung transplantation in the Czech Republic was successfully performed on November 22nd, 2007. The patient was a 49-year woman who suffered from congenital heart disease complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension which excluded the possibility of heart transplantation only. The uncomplicated surgery took 8 hours and her ICU stay was 12 days. The patient was discharged from the hospital on January 11th, 2008 in a very good condition. Presently she does not complain of any serious problems and is under regular follow-up.
