The evaluation of a candidate for transplantation is a complex task and involves a multidisciplinary team that follows the patient beyond the postoperative period. Currently, the mean time on the waiting list for lung transplantation in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, is approximately 18 months. For Brazil as a whole, data from the Brazilian Organ Transplant Association show that, in 2014, there were 67 lung transplants and 204 patients on the waiting list for lung transplantation. Lung transplantation is most often indicated in cases of COPD, cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, and pulmonary hypertension. This comprehensive review aimed to address the major aspects of lung transplantation: indications, contraindications, evaluation of transplant candidates, evaluation of donor candidates, management of transplant recipients, and major complications. To that end, we based our research on the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation guidelines and on the protocols used by our Lung Transplant Group in the city of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1806-37562015000000100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,17]],"date-time":"2016-01-17T04:30:42Z","timestamp":1453005042000},"page":"547-553","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Lung transplantation: overall approach regarding its major aspects"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Priscila Cilene Le\u00f3n Bueno de","family":"Camargo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ricardo Henrique de Oliveira Braga","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafael Medeiros","family":"Carraro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvia Vidal","family":"Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Eduardo","family":"Afonso Junior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9 Nathan","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucas Matos","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis Gustavo","family":"Abdalla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcos Naoyuki","family":"Samano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulo Manuel","family":"P\u00eago-Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil; Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Registro Brasileiro de Transplantes 2014.
