Abstract
Bilateral-lung transplantation carries a greater risk of early mortality than single-lung transplantation for IPF. Increasing pulmonary artery pressure is a risk factor for death after single-lung transplantation in IPF. Mean pulmonary artery pressure should be included in the overall risk assessment of patients with IPF evaluated for lung transplantation.
