Lung transplant program medical director Aldo Iacono, M.D., can be reached for a consultation by calling 1-800-492-5538 (patients) or 1-800-373-4111 (physicians).
The University of Maryland Medical Center's Lung Transplantation Program has saved the lives of dozens of patients who received transplants. By replacing lungs which have ceased to function effectively, the program has given new life -- new energy and new possibilities -- to people whose lives had been restricted by debilitating conditions.
In addition, the lives of hundreds of other patients have been greatly improved by identifying other treatments that successfully postponed or prevented the need for transplant.
UM Lung Transplant Program medical director Aldo Iacono, M.D., has been professionally involved as a physician in lung transplantation since 1992. A recognized lung transplant expert, Dr. Iacono has developed the only treatment shown to prevent chronic rejection after lung transplantation proven in a placebo-controlled randomized trial, which was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
