Summary

Provides a detailed account of the principles and practice of contemporary lung transplantation. The book covers pulmonary vascular and parenchymal lung disease, which necessitate transplantation, together with all aspects of the multidisciplinary management of lung transplant patients. It concludes by looking at future developments in the treatment of advanced respiratory failure. This multidisciplinary approach makes the publication suitable for several subspecialities in addition to pulmonary medicine and lung transplantation, including haematology, radiology and clinical psychology. It should serve as a valuable source of reference and practical information for medical specialists in transplantation and all those working in thoracic organ transplant units.
