Is Lung Transplantation possible & is it safe?

Both Lungs of a 60 Year old man have Failed. The doctors say there is no treatment. can the lungs be tranplanted? He lives in a small city in andhra pradesh, Nellore. Which place in India is best Suitable for such treatment.

lung transplant is possible and done a lot in the USA but i would not know about India.

i dont think it is safe even if possible,consult reputed institutes

I watched a game show the other day , deal or no deal, one of the contestants had just had a lung transplant , so I would say yes it is possible , she seemed very happy and energetic..
Peace

Lung transplants are not done anywhere in India.Even where it is done it is of limited use for a short time.

Lung transplants are done almost daily in the US and Canada, but I do not know about in India. I would suggest he come over here and maybe look into the appropriate treatment. A GREAT hospital which does them is the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

All the best of luck!
