Essentials of Lung Transplantation by Saskia Bos

Lung transplantation (LTx) is a life-saving treatment for people with very severe end-stage lung diseases. It educates healthcare professionals involved in the care of LTx patients by explaining the general post-transplant journey, addressing typical post-transplant complications, and providing examples of real-life cases.
