Lung Transplantation: There are many lung transplantation centers in the U.S. Among the busiest centers, texas children/s hospital performs many lung transplantations per year. The international society for heart and lung transplantation provides statistical information at ishlt.Org. It is also important to consider that you will have many follow up visits, so living close to a center may be important as well.
