Health News: Double-Lung Transplant

This is related in your health and personality I mean this Lung transplant patients who accept 2 lungs are two times as probable to exist extra as 10 years as patients who accept single lung are and Johns Hopkins is say.

“Our results suggest that double-lung transplants have a long-term advantage, and surgeons should consider bilateral lung transplants whenever possible,”

“Not all lung recipients necessarily need a bilateral transplant. Many people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including emphysema and different kinds of pulmonary fibrosis, can survive with just one lung being replaced, while other lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, usually require transplantation of both lungs. But double-lung transplants clearly perform better over time,” Shah said.

“What we’re after here is to find as many factors as possible that support long-term survival, so that we maximize the gains in average life span for all our patients.” Via
