About Lung Transplants A lung transplant is surgery to replace one or both diseased lungs with healthy lungs from a donor. A lung transplant is usually the last resort treatment for lung failure. A lung transplant is not recommended for patients with serious illnesses, such as reduced kidney or liver function. A lung transplant is an extreme measure for patients with life-threatening lung disease or damage. Current survival rates are as high as 80% at 1 year following transplantation.
