UT Southwestern Medical Center offers one of the nation’s leading lung transplant programs. Over a recent 30-month period, we were rated the best in the nation for achieving the highest survival rate (100 percent) for one-year post-transplant patients.

• Since the lung transplant program began in 1990, UT Southwestern has consistently been ranked among the top 10 in the United States, and the three-year survival rate (82.9 percent) significantly exceeds the national average (64.4 percent).
  
  
• Our surgeons have performed 158 lung transplants since the program’s inception.
  
  
• Lung transplant patients include more than 45 with cystic fibrosis, who have a 98 percent one-year survival rate.

Treatment

Our lung transplant specialists work within a team of physicians, who specialize in all aspects of pulmonary, imaging and transplantation medicine. Our transplant specialists also provide the ongoing medical management and care needed for patients who are waiting for a transplant, as well as for those who have already received a transplant.

The collaborative efforts of the physicians, nursing coordinators, dietitians, social workers and other counselors enables UT Southwestern’s lung transplant program to excel in providing attentive care to each patient. Our lung transplant program is dedicated to providing expert and personalized care for patients within a setting that also utilizes UT Southwestern’s advanced medical resources.

Patient Education

Our lung transplant specialists are widely recognized by their peers as leading authorities in the innovative and effective use of surgical procedures to perform transplants. In addition, extensive research programs allow UT Southwestern to pioneer patient-care practices that achieve impressive results for patients undergoing a transplant procedure.
