Abstract
The analysis of literature on experimental and clinical transplantation for the period of the 1968–1969 demonstrated that in the period from 1960 to 1970 the world transplantation saw a paradigm change in the field of homoorgan transplant: instead of overcoming the incompatibility between the donor organ and the recipient's body by using biological and physiological methods to influence the organ, which V.P. Demikhov had been dealing with for many years; surgeons and scientists, first abroad, and then in the USSR started developing and applying the creation of artificial immunological tolerance by using various physical, chemical and biological methods to impact recipient's body. The change of paradigms significantly influenced the implementation of organ transplantation techniques in clinic, including those of vital organs, and the further development of clinical transplantology. The data on the first heart transplants in 1968 and lung transplants in 1963–1970 have been presented.
