Patients With PAH Face Unique Considerations for Lung Transplantation
ajmc.comInsights from a new paper outline the unique considerations and management approaches for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) undergoing lung transplantation.

PAH is the only major diagnostic indication for transplantation that is not a parenchymal pulmonary process.
