Recent progress in immunosuppressive therapy for lung transplantation, improvements in surgical technique, advances in lung preservation methods, and appropriate management of cadaver organ donors have all improved the prospects for lung transplantation as a feasible therapeutic procedure for selected patients with end-stage pulmonary disease. The major limiting factor in the application of this operation will be the scarcity of good lung donors.
肺移植免疫抑制疗法的最新进展、手术技术的改进、肺保存方法的进步以及尸体器官供体的妥善管理，都改善了肺移植的前景，使其成为某些终末期肺病患者可行的治疗方法。该手术应用的主要限制因素将是优质肺供体的稀缺。
