Issue Date: | 11-Nov-2025 | Publisher: | Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists | Description: | Lung transplantation is an established standard of care to treat end-stage lung disease. Since the first successful lung transplant 30 years ago, advances in lung preservation, surgical technique and immunosuppression regimens have allowed lung transplantation to become a destination therapy for a diverse spectrum of lung disorders. In a carefully selected patient group, where all medical treatments have been exhausted, it represents an opportunity to regain quality of life and longevity. This review article aims to give the reader an overview of lung transplantation and its evolution. It will detail current indications for lung transplants and considerations in the preassessment process. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/11055/1304 | ISBN: | 9780645147247 |
