General Info

The lung transplant program at UW Medical Center - Montlake was established in 1991 and is the only lung transplant program in the Pacific Northwest. Our team performs up to 60 transplants per year and has done nearly 1000 lung transplants. We provide lung transplantation for a wide variety of patients including those with emphysema/COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and other interstitial lung diseases, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, sarcoid, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), as well as other less common lung diseases. Combined lung transplantation with other organ transplantation (such as heart or liver) is also available if needed.
