Patients with chronic end-stage lung disease, such as COPD, CF, PAH, Pulmonary fibrosis ◦ Max 50-55 y for HLTx ◦ 60-65 y for LTx
Failing medical treatment Or no medical treatment exists Need for ◦ Information ◦ Demonstration of adequate health behavior ◦ Willingness to adhere to guidelines
Aim of LTx: survival benefit and increase in QOL
Malignancy in the last 2 years, except cutaneous squamous and basal cell tumors ◦ Remains questionnable regarding for instance
breast cancer, renal cancer. How long tumor free?
Untreatable advanced dysfunction of other organs (kidney, liver, …) ◦ Unless combined transplantation
Untreatable coronary artery disease ◦ What is nowadays untreatable?
Non-curable chronic extrapulmonary infections (hep B, hep C, HIV) ◦ Also questionnable
Significant chest wall/spinal deformity ◦ To be discussed with surgeons
Documented non-adherence ◦ Specific problem in young CF patients
Untreatable psychiatric or psychologic condition with inability to comply with medical therapy
Absence of social support ◦ Difficulties to adhere to strict follow up
protocols Substance addiction: tobacco, alcohol,
narcotics, drug abuse that is active or within the last 6 months ◦ Is six months enough delay?
Age > 65 y Critical or unstable clinical condition
(invasive ventilation, ECMO) BMI > 30 Colonization with highly resistant or
virulent bacteria, fungi or mycobacteria ◦ CF patients specifically ◦ Mycobacterial colonization/infection remains
problematic arterial hypertension peptic ulcer GER (50% or more preTx) Severe or symptomatic osteoporosis Diabetes
Should be adequately treated before Tx

Number of Tx procedures is imperative for good results ◦ More SSLTx ◦ Use of marginal and NHB donors
Results of lung transplantation have significantly increased in recent years
Expertise of a whole team is extremely important
Close follow up is evenly important Chronic rejection remains the major
cause of death ◦ Role of azi in prevention/treatment ofchronic
rejection (35-40% responders) ◦ Trying to stabilize FEV1 decline with MLK
