Understanding the lung transplant evaluation process for advanced pulmonary hypertension is an important part of treatment planning. Knowing when a transplant referral may be needed and what happens next can help you and your family feel more informed and prepared.
Join the Pulmonary Hypertension Association for an overview of the process in the upcoming webinar, “Transplantation Roadmap: Lung Transplant Referral and Evaluation for Pediatric and Adult PH,” on Wednesday, Sept. 30, at 2 p.m. EDT.
During the webinar, you’ll learn:
- When and why a lung transplant referral may be considered for pulmonary hypertension.
- What to expect during the transplant evaluation process, including testing and meetings with your care team.
- How patients and families can prepare, ask questions and find support throughout the referral and waitlist process.
This discussion will provide pediatric and adult patients with PH and their families with practical information and expert insights to help them navigate the transplant process.
