DISTANT GRAFT PROCUREMENT FOR COMBINED HEART AND LUNG TRANSPLANTATION USING PULMONARY-ARTERY FLUSH AND SIMPLE TOPICAL HYPOTHERMIA FOR GRAFT PRESERVATION ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY Baldwin, J. C., Frist, W. H., Starkey, T. D., Harjula, A., Starnes, V. A., Stinson, E. B., Oyer, P. E., Shumway, N. E. 1987; 43 (6): 670-673

We report a heart and lung transplantation operation for Eisenmenger's syndrome in which distant donor graft procurement was used with a simple system for preservation.
