Treatment Strategies
At Emory University Hospital , we consider lung transplantation when conventional medication or surgery cannot improve the function of your failing lungs. Transplantation offers many people the chance not only to survive but to return to a more normal, productive lifestyle. It is important to understand that a lung transplant does not “cure” your lung disease. You will need daily medication and rigorous follow-up by the transplant team for the rest of your life.
