Abstract
Combined heart lung transplant has become a rare procedure. However, there is a significant number of patients potentially benefitting from replacement of both heart and lungs. This represents a quite diverse patient population. Decisions in patient selection have to be adjusted to individual needs and distinct constellation of the patient. Age may be a risk factor, but should be carefully integrated into the evaluation of perioperative and long term risks.
