Some people with pulmonary hypertension consider lung transplants when their PH is progressing significantly and no longer responding to treatment. Successful lung transplants can improve quality of life for people with PH and extend their lives by several years, but it requires lifelong long care and medications.

Not everyone with PH will need one, but for some people, a double-lung transplant may be the next life-giving step.

Lung Transplant Awareness Day honors every step of the lung transplant journey—from waitlist to post-transplant life.
