New Lungs: A Gift of Life
Lung disease can lead to transplantation in some patients. It takes an entire team of medical professionals to assist a patient from the initial diagnosis into day-to-day treatment and finally surgery and recovery. University of Washington's Dr. Ganesh Raghu discusses the care and treatment of patients before and after transplantation. Dr. Mike Mulligan and the UW Medical Center transplantation team work against the clock to procure and transplant a set of lungs in this complicated, multiple surgery procedure.
