Abstract

In the past 8 years, lung transplantation has become a standard therapy for benign end-stage pulmonary disease. Rapid advances have occurred involving indications and operative management that have allowed pulmonary transplantation to be a viable option for an increasingly diverse patient population. In part I, we review the current indications and operative techniques, and in part II we will cover the postoperative management and results.
