Lung transplantation involves removal of one or both diseased lungs from a patient and replacing it or them with healthy organs from a donor. Lung transplantation may refer to single, double, or even heart-lung transplantation.
In order to qualify for lung transplantation, a patient must suffer from severe lung disease, which limits activities of daily living. At MGH, a team of surgeons, pulmonologists, and other specialists is ready to assist you.
We'll conduct an evaluation, and if you become a candidate for transplantation, we'll put your name on the waiting list.
Once a donor is found, we'll notify you.
