The progression of airways disease leads to eventual respiratory failure, but some will suffer other acute respiratory...
متن کاملPractical Guidelines: Lung Transplantation in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
There are no European recommendations on issues specifically related to lung transplantation (LTX) in cystic fibrosis (CF). The main goal of this paper is to provide CF care team members with clinically relevant CF-specific information on all aspects of LTX, highlighting areas of consensus and controversy throughout Europe. Bilateral lung transplantation has been shown to be an important therap...
