How The Lungs Work 1 When removed for transplant, the lungs can survive outside the body longer than any other organ. 2  The left lung is smaller than the right lung to make room for the heart. 3  About 10,000 quarts (9,464 liters) of air go through your lungs every day.  The total surface area of the alveoli is around the size of a tennis court.

Lung Transplantation A lung transplant removes a person's diseased lung and replaces it with a healthy one. The healthy lung comes from a donor who has died. Some people get one lung during a transplant. Other people get two. Lung transplants are used for people who are likely to die from lung disease within 1 to 2 years. Their conditions are so severe that other treatments, such as medicines or breathing devices, no longer work.

Lung Transplant Evaluation â Duke University Medical Center â Completed Since Anya’s previous tests showed that she had some pre-cirrhosis activity, a lung/liver transplant, instead of just a double lung transplant, was a possibility. Unfortunately, a lung/liver transplant is a lot more complicated, and a lot longer wait time than the average 12 days for a lung transplant. Definitely not something that we wanted. The good news that came from this meeting was that a lung/liver was an option, and not a dealbreaker.
