The first lung transplant was attempted by Dr. Hardy at the University of Mississippi in 1964. This was not a successful procedure. The first long-term success with single lung transplantation was performed by the team at the University of Toronto Thoracic Surgery Group in Toronto, Canada (at the Toronto General Hospital) in 1983. The Toronto group also performed the first successful double lung transplant in 1986. Prior to that, the Stanford University group performed the first successful heart-lung transplant.
The cost of a lung transplant is quite high and can cost about $400,000 for a single lung transplant and $800,000 for a double lung transplant. You can receive help from anyone to come up with the funds to be put on the lung transplant list.
A trapped lung is an under inflated or collapsed lung. It has been done but your transplant team can best advise you.
yes
If the breathing difficulty is due to cardiac failure it will be cardiac transplant, and if it is due to lung failure it will be lung transplant

What unavoidable factor would diminish dthe chance of success of a lung transplant, but is not a factor at all in a heart transplant
In a lung transplant, a diseased lung is removed and may be replaced by a deceased donor's lung. The name for this kind of transplant is a cadaveric transplant. There are also transplants called living donor transplants. So that the body does not reject the transplanted organ, an immunosuppressant drug must be taken by the patient usually for life.
Not for mild interstitial lung disease. However, if it becomes severe, limiting the ability of the lung to do any useful work of breathing (oxygen in and CO2 out), then a lung transplant may be the only thing that will help.
The cost of a lung transplant surgery can range from $100,000 to $1 million depending on factors such as hospital charges, insurance coverage, and post-transplant care. The cost of acquiring a new lung itself may not be broken down separately as it is typically covered under the overall transplant procedure cost.
heart lung It is much harder to transplant just lungs as the heart gets in the way! So in most cases it will be a heart and lung transplant. If the heart taken out is healthy then that is given to someone else who is just wanting a heart. It does not go to waste.
