Expert Experience: Achieving Greater Success in Lung Transplantation Through Access & Innovation

  • Summary

  • The field of lung transplantation is relatively new with widespread lung transplants beginning in the early 1980s. Throughout the last forty years, it is a field that has rapidly evolved with drastic changes in lung allocation, or deciding who will receive the next available lungs for transplantation. Dr. Selim Arcasoy has led the NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia Lung Transplant Program through these changes since 2001. Thanks to his dedication to improving lung allocation and foundational research, the program has been a catalyst in changing how lung allocation works in New York and beyond. These policies, in conjunction with Dr. Arcasoy's talented team, clinical research and state of the art tools, have led to greater numbers of patients receiving life-saving transplants.
