Abstract
Lung transplantation is a therapeutic alternative that has been in use since the beginning of the 1960s, although the initial results were less than promising. After the advent of cyclosporine in the 1980s, lung transplantation came to be viewed as a real alternative in certain countries. In Brazil, the debut of lung transplantation was slow to come about, and the procedure was initially restricted to a handful of facilities. However, in recent years, the number of lung transplantations performed in Brazil has increased, as has the quality of the results. Nevertheless, every success has its price, and this increase has led to a greater number of candidates for the surgery, thereby lengthening the lung transplant waiting list. This phenomenon is not restricted to Brazil. Barr et al.
