Unhealthy lungs can make it difficult for your body to get the oxygen it needs to survive. A variety of diseases and health conditions can damage your lungs and keep them from functioning effectively. Some of the more common causes involve:
• Scarring of the lungs
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pulmonary hypertension
• Cystic fibrosis
The lung may damage and can be treated with medication or with special breathing devices. But when these measures no longer help and also your lung function becomes life-threatening, your doctor might suggest a single-lung transplant or the double-lung transplant.
Some people with coronary artery disease may need a procedure to restore blood flow to a narrowed or blocked artery in the heart in a lung transplant. In other cases, people with serious lung and heart conditions may need a combined heart-lung transplant.
