13 patients with severe lung disease and cor pulmonale from cystic fibrosis were accepted for heart-lung transplantation (HLT). 6 have had the operation, of whom 5 are well, with normal lung function, 3-29 months after operation. 1 patient died from adult respiratory distress syndrome after reoperation to control persistent chest-wall bleeding: at necropsy, this patient proved to have cirrhosis. Respiratory tract infections and acute lung rejection after HLT for cystic fibrosis were no more common than in other HLT patients. Of the 7 patients for whom suitable donor organs were not found, 3 died within 3 months of assessment. Initial severity of disease had been similar to that in the transplant group. The cost of assessment, operation, and 1 year's treatment after HLT is similar to that of medical treatment for such patients.
