How to Select the Best Hospital for Lung Transplant in Bengaluru, India?
Choosing the right hospital for lung transplant is one of the most important decisions in your treatment journey. A few factors are worth weighing before you decide:
International Accreditation
Look for a hospital with international accreditation such as JCI or NABH — see the accreditation badges shown for each hospital below.
Specialization
Check that the hospital's listed specialties actually include liver transplant & hpb rather than only general care.
Capacity and Track Record
Bed count and year established (shown below for each hospital) are a reasonable proxy for scale and operating experience.
Transparent Costs
Ask for an itemised, all-inclusive estimate — hospital charges, room category and stay — before you travel. Our cost calculator (linked below) gives a starting estimate.
Understanding Lung Transplant
A lung transplant is a life-saving surgical procedure in which one or both diseased lungs are replaced with healthy donor lungs, indicated for end-stage pulmonary conditions such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Clinical Overview
- End-stage lung disease represents irreversible, progressive destruction of pulmonary parenchyma or vasculature that renders conventional medical therapy ineffective.
- In conditions such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the alveolar architecture is replaced by fibrotic scar tissue, precipitating a catastrophic decline in diffusion capacity (DLCO) and forced vital capacity (FVC).
- In COPD and emphysema, hyperinflation and bullous destruction eliminate effective gas exchange surface area.
Who is a Candidate?
- ELIGIBLE CONDITIONS: End-stage COPD/emphysema (FEV1 < 20% predicted with homogeneous distribution or DLCO < 20%), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (FVC < 80% or DLCO < 40% with 10% decline over 6 months), cystic fibrosis (FEV1 < 30% predicted), pulmonary arterial hypertension refractory to prostacyclin therapy, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), and re-transplantation for chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD/BOS).
- FUNCTIONAL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: NYHA/WHO functional class III–IV; resting or exertional oxygen dependence; significant functional limitation despite maximal medical therapy; estimated 2-year mortality > 50% without transplant (assessed using disease-specific risk scores such as the BODE index for COPD or the GAP model for IPF).
- REQUIRED DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP (PRE-TRANSPLANT EVALUATION): High-resolution CT (HRCT) chest, full pulmonary function tests (spirometry, body plethysmography, DLCO), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), right heart catheterization, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE/ECHO) with Doppler, coronary angiography (patients > 40 years or with cardiac risk factors), V/Q scintigraphy, arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, complete metabolic panel, renal and hepatic function tests, HLA typing and crossmatch, CMV/EBV/HIV/HBV/HCV serology, bone density scan (DEXA), and psychosocial assessment.
- ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS: Active malignancy within the past 2 years (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers), severe non-pulmonary organ dysfunction (renal GFR < 40 mL/min, hepatic cirrhosis, significant coronary artery disease not amenable to revascularization), active extrapulmonary infection including tuberculosis, documented non-adherence to medical regimens, active tobacco/substance use within 6 months, and uncontrolled psychiatric illness.

Treatment Options & Approaches
- BILATERAL SEQUENTIAL LUNG TRANSPLANT (BSLT — GOLD STANDARD): The preferred technique for most diagnoses including COPD, CF, and PAH.
- The recipient undergoes sequential replacement of each lung through a clamshell (bilateral anterolateral thoracotomy) or bilateral thoracosternotomy incision.
- Each bronchial, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary vein anastomosis is completed individually.
Recovery
- PHASE 1 — REMOTE PRE-EVALUATION (WEEKS 1–3): GAF Healthcare coordinates the transfer of all prior medical records, imaging (HRCT, PFTs, ECHO, right heart catheterization), and laboratory results to the chosen transplant center.
- The transplant pulmonologist and cardiothoracic surgeon conduct a telemedicine consultation to determine candidacy and provisional listing status.
- A detailed cost estimate and logistical plan are provided.
Risks to be aware of
- Lung transplantation carries significant perioperative and long-term risks that every patient must understand before proceeding.
- Primary graft dysfunction (PGD), a form of ischemia-reperfusion injury affecting the donor lung within 72 hours of transplant, occurs in up to 25% of recipients and is the leading cause of early mortality; severe PGD (Grade 3) may require ECMO support and carries a 30-day mortality of 40–50%.
Why GAF Healthcare
- GAF Healthcare provides a seamlessly coordinated non-medical support infrastructure designed to eliminate logistical friction for international patients undergoing lung transplantation in India or the UAE.
