Today, lung transplantation is considered a viable treatment for many patients with most transplants being performed for end-stage lung disease resulting from emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis. Additionally, other lung diseases such as those resulting from sarcoidosis, collagen vascular disorders, and pulmonary hypertension are also amenable to this therapy.
