Who can benefit from heart and lung transplant surgery?
There are many medical conditions that may result in the need to undergo heart and lung transplant surgery. Severe end-stage lung and heart disease are the most common reason, alongside birth defects, congenital heart disease, emphysema, cystic fibrosis and coronary heart disease – among others. Heart and lung transplant surgery is usually seen as a last resort if other treatments have not shown improvement.
