Single vs Double Lung Transplantation in Older Adults
Our findings show that in older adults, SLT is associated with less morbidity and comparable early survival relative to BLT, but lower 5-year survival. This suggests that SLT is reasonable to perform in older adults at high risk of not tolerating BLT.
