AB  - Since  its  inception  in  1963,  over  32,000  lung  transplants  have  been  performed  globally.  For  several  decades,  chronic  obstructive  pulmonary  disease  (COPD)  was  the  most  common  indication  for  lung  transplantation.  However,  in  the  United  States,  the  donor  lung  allocation  system  has  changed  the  scenario  and  idiopathic  pulmonary  fibrosis  (IPF)  is  emerging  as  a  more  common  indication.  IPF  accounts  for  about  25%  of  lung  transplant  at  our  center  and  33%  nationally.1  Cystic  fibrosis  (CF)  is  the  third  most  common  indication.
