Lung Transplantation

Pediatric lung tranplants are typicall performed on cystic fibrosis (CF) patients who make up about 70 percent of pediatric lung tranplant patients. Primary pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, and bronchopulmonary  dysplasia make up the rest of pediatric lung transplant population.

Dobule-lung tranplants is bilateral, sequential, single-lung tranplant wich means that one lung is removed and then replaced and then second lung is removed and replaced. Both does not develop in the transplanted lung. One-year survival approaches 90 percent and 5-year survival is about 65 pecent. Living-lobar tranplantation involves replacing the diseased lungs with lobes from a living donor.
