Lung Transplantation (Canada) PSP

Lung transplantation is a surgical procedure done to replace a diseased or failing lung with a healthy lung from a deceased donor. It is the main therapeutic option considered for end-stage lung diseases, which can not only improve survival but also the quality of life for patients and their caregivers.

About the PSP

The Lung Transplantation (Canada) PSP will identify the unanswered questions that reflect questions, or the difficulties faced by patients, their family, caregivers, specialists and clinicians.
