[The selection of patients who are candidates for lung transplantation].

From January 1991 to September 1993 we evaluated 49 patients (27 males and 22 females--mean age 42 years) with chronic respiratory failure as possible candidates for lung transplantation. 27 patients had idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, 9 emphysema, 4 bronchiectasis, 3 cystic fibrosis, 3 primary pulmonary hypertension and 1 respectively lymphangiomatosis, thromboembolism and vanishing lung. 16 patients were considered suitable for single or double lung transplantation. 4 patients died waiting, 4 underwent single lung transplantation and 8 are still on the waiting list. The mean survival of patients in the waiting list was 145 days (52 for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), ranging between 35 and 398 days.
