The Lung Transplant Program at Children's Hospital Boston evaluates children who are potential candidates for transplantation, and manages the care of children who have received transplanted lungs. A lung transplant is an operation performed to replace a diseased lung with a healthy one from another person.
In addition to lung transplants, selected patients with both heart disease and pulmonary disease are considered candidates for heart-lung transplantation.
Since the program's inception in 1990 through 2007, 58 bilateral, single, and heart-lung transplants have been performed.
