Sažetak

Lung transplantation was first performed in 1963, but the real increase in performed transplantations occurred in the last twenty years. Leading indications for lung transplantation are: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and sarcoidosis. Careful selection of donors is extremely important for prognosis after transplantation. Physicians should consider lung transplantation as a therapeutic option and follow the guidelines on the indications for transplantation so patients could be sent on time to a referral center for all the necessary examinations and preparation for recruiting to the waiting list. Department for Lung Diseases Jordanovac, University Hospital Centre Zagreb, is a referral center for lung transplantation in Croatia. The Department is performing processing and preparing patients for transplantation as well as follow them during post-transplantation period.
