Transplantation Series: Lung Transplantation

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Guest: John Haney, M.D., M.P.H.

Lung transplantation remains a very viable option for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease who no longer respond to medical management. Over 5,000 lung transplants are performed annually around the world. However, its estimated that over 10 times this number are candidates and awaiting a transplant. A shortage of organs remains the major limiting factor. What are the common indications and who’s a candidate for a lung transplant? How are patients prioritized and chosen? What advances have been made in the field and what challenges remain? Finally, what role does the primary care clinician play in lung transplantation? I’ll be discussing these questions and more with my guest, Jack Haney, M.D., M.P.H., chair of cardiothoracic surgery at the Jacksonville campus of the Mayo Clinic. The topic for this podcast is “Lung Transplantation”.
