Enquiries about transplant evaluation and referral pathways.
Heart or lung transplantation may be considered for selected people with advanced disease when other treatment options are not sufficient. Eligibility and referral require specialist evaluation by an appropriate transplant team.
When transplant assessment may be discussed
A transplant team may assess selected people with advanced heart or lung disease. Evaluation can include medical tests, review of prior treatment, overall health and individual circumstances.
