Transplant and Pulmonary Hypertension

Illustration of human heart and lungs

Lung or heart-lung transplant is a treatment option reserved for patients who are not improving on medical therapies. While transplantation can prolong survival, improve quality of life and offers a potential cure for pulmonary hypertension (PH), it also carries risk of significant complications and many factors need to be considered before going forward.
