Stanford’s Center for Advanced Lung Disease is one of a few in the country providing specialty care for patients with cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, emphysema, pulmonary hypertension, advanced cardiopulmonary diseases, and lung transplant. Since performing the first successful heart-lung transplant more than thirty years ago, our team of pulmonary experts continues to develop innovative strategies for the treatment of advanced lung disease.
Specific treatment will be determined by you and your doctor. Treatment may include one or more of the following:
A surgical option to treat advanced heart failure, a condition that occurs when the heart can't pump enough oxygenated blood to meet the needs of the body's organs.
A surgical procedure to remove one or both diseased lungs from a patient and replaced healthy donor lungs.
Physical therapy may include a regimen of exercise, tissue manipulation, and other treatments focused on maximizing function in specific body parts to help relieve your pain.

On April 1, 2013, Steve Rasmussen, celebrated the 25th anniversary of his successful heart-lung transplant to treat his serious case of cystic fibrosis.
