Abstract:
Outcomes of lung transplantation have greatly improved over recent years. While patients with concomitant cardiac pathology used to be excluded from lung transplant, today, most of these cardiac conditions can be addressed safely and effectively. Interventional techniques should be preferred. Lung transplant performed by cardiac surgeons allows for concomitant interventions.
