Outcomes of Lung Transplantation in Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis: Analysis of UNOS Database
Patients who underwent LT for coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) had comparable post-transplant outcomes to those with other diagnoses. Therefore, LT for CWP can be safely performed. It is crucial to recognize the severity of the illness and be aware of the potential challenges in the perioperative transplant course to effectively manage this population.
