Department Description

Lung transplant is the most advanced treatment for patients with severe diseases of the lung, such as emphysema, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension, to name a few. U.S. News & World Report named UCSF Medical Center's Lung Transplant Program a specialized center of excellence for treating cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension.

Our lung transplant program has performed more than 900 transplants, mostly bi-lateral, since the program began in 1991. The transplant program has established a reputation for accepting and transplanting challenging, complex patients. Despite this, for nine consecutive years, the UCSF Lung Transplant Program has had significantly higher-than-expected post-surgery survival rates – the only program in the country with this record. These outcomes are the result of teamwork that pushes boundaries to redefine possible at every level of care.
