Double-Lung Transplant

A double-lung transplant is a surgical procedure where a patient's damaged lungs are replaced with healthy ones from a donor. It's typically performed on individuals with severe lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or pulmonary fibrosis, when other treatments have failed. The surgery aims to improve breathing and overall quality of life. Patients must undergo thorough evaluations to determine their eligibility, and the procedure requires a significant recovery period. Post-transplant, patients need ongoing medical care to prevent rejection of the new lungs and to manage their overall health.
