Duke Lung Transplant Symposium 2017

August 25, 2017 to August 26, 2017

For 25 years, Duke’s lung transplant program
has been one of the largest and most
successful in the world. With over 1700 lung
transplants performed, our team understands
all aspects of lung transplant, from
process to planning, organization and the
incorporation of the multidisciplinary components
that are key to good outcomes. Our
team is experienced in lung transplant across
the age and disease spectrum, as well as
multiorgan transplant. We are also leaders
in transplant research, having contributed to
much of the pivotal knowledge that guides
current practices and as the recipients of the
first lung-focused $13 million NIH Clinical
Trials in Organ Transplantation (CTOT) grant
which lead to advances in future care.


This symposium is designed to help you
understand how to optimize lung transplant
candidate selection as well as perioperative
and long-term management of lung transplant
recipients. This is a unique opportunity
to broaden your transplant expertise and
learn the pearls and pitfalls of lung transplant
from our established team of experts.
