AB Since  its  inception  in  1963,  more  than  35,000  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  interstitial  lung  disease  (ILD)  is  emerging  as  a  more  common  indication.  ILD  accounts  for  about  30%  of  lung  transplants  at  our  center  and  33%  nationally.1  Cystic  fibrosis  (CF)  is  the  third  most  common  indication.
