(who.int)
  • Access to transplantation entails more than the surgery itself, because success is measured by longer survival of the patient and a long-term improvement in the quality of life. (who.int)
  • Over the last decade, improvements in surgical techniques, lung preservation, immunosuppression, and management of ischaemia/reperfusion injury and infections have made intermediate-term survival after lung transplantation an achievable goal. (ersjournals.com)
