About Our Lung Transplant Program
The University of Maryland Medical Center’s Lung Transplantation Program is
nationally preeminent, with a tradition of excellence dating back to 1992 when it performed the first single lung transplant in Maryland. In 1995, the program performed the state’s first bilateral lung transplant.
Today, with a one-year survival rate of 75 percent--well above the national
average--the program continues to gain international prominence. An internationally recognized pulmonologist leads the team, which today performs both single and double lung transplants, as well as heart-lung transplants.
