Lung Transplantation

Once considered an experimental therapy, lung transplantation is now regarded

as a viable treatment option for selected patients with end-stage lung

diseases. As more and more of these cases arise, it becomes imperative for

those involved in the care of lung transplant patients to have a vast

understanding of the multidisciplinary process of lung transplantation. This

text provides a comprehensive overview of this process covering everything from

the history of the lung transplant program to the long term effects of the

procedure.
