Inflammatory Response in Cardiovascular Surgery

Abstract

Transplantation is the only treatment of choice for end-stage lung disease patients. This procedure is labor-intensive, expensive, and driven by the availability of organ donation. Considering the ongoing significant organ donor shortage, it is important to ensure that each transplant candidate will survive and achieve the maximum long-term outcome. Unfortunately, there are still challenging long-term complications associated with lung transplant recipients, and research is ongoing to maximize medical treatment.
