"Who knew?" Broadly speaking, me. I've taken care of donors. Post-op heart transplant recipients, too, but they weren't doing lungs yet when I left Stanford. They also do heart-lung transplants. I knew the doc who did the first one when he was a resident; he was also on staff at the VA. The first successful transplant surgery involving the lungs was a heart-lung transplant, performed by Dr. Bruce Reitz of Stanford University on a woman who had idiopathic pulmonary hypertension.[4] en.wikipedia.org They take a lot from donors...
