AB  - End-stage  lung  disease  is  a  highly  disabling  pathology  for  which  lung  transplantation  is  the  only  possible  therapeutic  option  in  some  cases.  The  median  survival  after  lung  transplantation  at  5  and  10  years  is  53%  and  31%,  respectively.  Since  the  first  successful  lung  transplant  in  the  1980s,  the  number  of  transplants  had  increased  considerably  all  around  the  world  (3600  in  2011).  Lung  transplantation  includes  lobar,  single-lung,  and  double-lung  transplants.  The  most  commonly  performed  procedure  is  bilateral  sequential  lung  transplant.
