The first lung transplant was attempted by Dr. Hardy at the University of Mississippi in 1964. This was not a successful procedure. The first long-term success with single lung transplantation was performed by the team at the University of Toronto Thoracic Surgery Group in Toronto, Canada (at the Toronto General Hospital) in 1983. The Toronto group also performed the first successful double lung transplant in 1986. Prior to that, the Stanford University group performed the first successful heart-lung transplant.
Heterotopic transplantation is transplantation of a tissue to a place it is not normally found. In regards to cardiac transplantation, heterotopic cardiac transplant is the transplant of a donor heart without removing the native heart. This is a rare kind of cardiac transplantation.

coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, congenital diseases, and re-transplantation associated with organ rejection.
