Risk Factors That Increase the Chance of Developing Primary Graft Dysfunction After Lung Transplantation

Description

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a severe lung complication that can occur in the days after lung transplant surgery. This study will analyze blood samples to determine if high levels of certain chemicals may increase the risk of developing PGD after a lung transplant.
