What to expect

Wuxi People's Hospital is China's reference lung transplant center, with experience in challenging cases including ECMO-supported recipients, redo transplants, and post-COVID lung damage. Dr. Chen's team accepts referrals from across China and selected international cases. Candidates should provide complete pulmonary function testing, high-resolution chest CT, six-minute walk test, right heart catheterization data, and oxygen requirement history. Lung transplant requires extended post-operative stay (typically 3+ months) for ICU recovery and immunosuppression stabilization.
