Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) accounts for the largest proportion ofrespiratory deaths worldwide and was historically the leading indication for lung transplantation.The success of lung transplantation procedures is measured as survival benefit, calculated assurvival with transplantation minus predicted survival without transplantation. In chronicobstructive pulmonary disease, it is difficult to show a clear and consistent survival benefit.Increasing knowledge of the risk factors, phenotypical heterogeneity, systemic manifestations, andtheir management helps improve our ability to select candidates and list those that will benefit themost from the procedure.
