Where this comes from

Abstract

Heart-lung transplantation in the presence of complex congenital heart disease including situs inversus and significant chest wall deformity can be accomplished successfully. However, the postoperative course is apt to be prolonged because of mechanical respiratory problems, which will respond to a protocol of weaning and nutritional supplementation.
