Certain respiratory disorders make it difficult for your lungs to do their job. A lung transplant performed at the Henry Ford Transplant Institute can help you breathe easier and enjoy a better quality of life. Many recipients lead active, normal lives after transplantation.
We have been a state leader in lung transplants since performing the first procedure in Detroit, in 1994. In addition to our expertise, we provide support at every step along the way.
When you come to Henry Ford for a lung transplant you benefit from:
Other centers may open up your chest. But our surgeons perform lung transplants through small 4-inch incisions on the side of your chest. A single-lung transplant requires two incisions, while a double-lung transplant requires four. Benefits of smaller surgical incisions include:
Your chance for a successful transplant is better when you receive the surgery before your health becomes much worse. With FAST Track, our lung transplant team completes all of your required medical tests and psychological assessments within a couple of days.
We receive your test results back quickly to place you on the national transplant waitlist as soon as possible. Your transplant coordinator will assist you with the FAST Track process.
