Lung Transplant Volume

In 2014, only 51 lung and heart-lung transplants were performed throughout the nation, which shows how highly specialized and rare transplantation is for children with end-stage lung disease. Five of the lung and heart-lung transplants in 2014 were done at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, which is nationally ranked #12 in pulmonology by U.S. News & World Report and is the highest ranked children’s hospital in California.
