978-0-8493-3717-8 (ISBN)
A comprehensive review of clinical and exploratory aspects of lung (LT) and heart-lung transplantation (HLT), this reference focuses on cumulative data from the International Registry with data on outcomes associated with LT and HLT worldwide. Collecting in-depth discussions on graft dysfunction, infectious complications, and indications of LT for specific disease states including emphysema, cystic fibrosis, myriad interstitial lung diseases, and pulmonary hypertension, this guide explores the most current technologies and best practices affecting lung and heart-lung transplant surgeries.
