肺移植项目

的 UCSF肺移植项目 provides comprehensive care for patients before and after 肺移植. 自1991年成立以来, 我们给出的大于1,000 patients with advanced lung disease the chance at a longer, 更积极的生活. We perform more than 70 transplants each year.

Our program has established a reputation for accepting challenging, complex cases. 尽管如此, the survival rate for adults who receive a lung transplant at UCSF consistently exceeds the national average, according to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). 结果数据可从 SRTR 从 Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network.

We are known for our extensive experience in using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to stabilize patients for long periods while they await transplant. 我们也使用最新的技术, including the Paragonix LUNGguard transport system and TransMedics Organ Care System, to safeguard organs during long-distance conveyance and to rehabilitate organs outside the body. This allows us to accept organ donations from an expanded pool of eligible donors.

We conduct additional outreach to candidates for lung transplant through our satellite clinics in Sacramento, 波特兰和火奴鲁鲁.

Each patient's team includes a transplant pulmonologist and a transplant surgeon, who together help assess the risks and benefits of surgery, make recommendations and follow the patient through the process. Other team members include the transplant nurse coordinator, 移植社工, 营养学家, 心理学家, 药剂师和物理治疗师. We are committed to providing the best care possible and supporting our patients from initial evaluation through surgery and beyond.
