Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Lung transplantation offers a promising treatment for end-stage pulmonary failure, showing satisfactory early results in patients with conditions like fibrosis and emphysema. However, long-term survival after lung transplant remains guarded, similar to other organ transplants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe indications and outcomes of single and double lung transplantation.
  • To review 66 author-performed operations and global literature.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 66 lung transplantation cases.
  • Review of existing world literature on lung transplantation.

Main Results:

  • Lung transplantation is a promising therapy for end-stage lung diseases.

  • Satisfactory early results were observed in the studied cohort.
  • The procedure addresses conditions like fibrosis, emphysema, infections, and pulmonary hypertension.

    • Conclusions:

    • Lung transplantation provides a viable option for severe pulmonary conditions.
    • While early outcomes are encouraging, long-term prognosis requires careful consideration.
    • Long-term survival post-lung transplant is guarded, consistent with other organ transplants.
