In some cases, lung diseases can lead to lung failure, or the inability of the lungs to efficiently transfer oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out of it. At this point, physicians can refer patients to a lung transplant center. 1  Tampa General Hospitalâs Lung Transplant Program accepts adult patients who have severe lung diseases, such as: 1  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) â A progressive disease that leads to the breakdown of the air sacs within the lungs or the irritation of the lining of the airways.
Lung transplantation has become an established treatment option for a variety of end-stage lung diseases, but the long-term outcomes remain some- what disappointing. The 5 year survival after lung transplantation worldwide is approximately 50%, and unfortunately, this has not improved substantially over the past 15 years. In the first 12 months after transplantation, graft failure and infectious complications are the leading causes of death, but beyond the first year, chronic rejection is the primary cause of mortality, accounting for approximately 40% of deaths.
