Single lung transplantation is safe when the other lung is declined
Our analysis demonstrating similar overall survival between recipients of isolated SLT and split SLT shows that a well-selected isolated donor lung can be used safely in the appropriate recipient population. This practice allows expansion of a known scarce donor lung pool and reduction of the waitlist mortality in lung transplant candidates.
