Lung transplantation is a complex and lifesaving procedure but one that carries many risks. Over the years, there have been many innovations in transplantation, including changing indications for the procedure, novel strategies to increase transplant rates, and improvements in post-transplant care. At this Grand Rounds we’ll hear from pulmonologist Steve Hays and cardiothoracic surgeon Jasleen Kukreja about how these advancements in the field have helped to optimize patient outcomes at UCSF.
