Lung Transplant Care

Experts in Lung Transplantation

If you have severe lung problems that cannot be improved with treatment, a lung transplant might be right for you.

At the USC Lung Transplantation Program, our experienced, world-renowned doctors will provide exceptional care and guide you through each stage of the lung transplant journey.

If you’re severely debilitated by cardiopulmonary disease and don’t have any other health problems, you might be a good candidate for a transplant. We perform safe, successful surgeries and help patients with a wide range of lung diseases, including:

  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Emphysema
  • Pulmonary fibrosis
  • Pulmonary hypertension
