Lung transplantation represents the gold-standard therapy for patients with
end-stage lung disease. Utilization of this therapy continues to rise. The Lung
Transplant Program at Duke University Medical Center was established in 1992, and
since that time has grown to one of the highest volume centers in the world. The
program to date has performed over 1,600 lung transplants. This report represents
an up-to-date review of the practice and management strategies employed for safe
and effective lung transplantation at our center. Specific attention is paid to
the evaluation of candidacy for lung transplantation, donor selection, surgical
approach, and postoperative management. These evidence-based strategies form the
foundation of the clinical transplantation program at Duke.
