Lung Transplant Referrals & Second Opinions
If you have questions about a lung transplant recommendation or want a second opinion, Mayo Clinic can review your diagnosis, treatment history, and other medical information. You don’t need to know whether transplant is right for you before reaching out.
A second opinion can help you decide what comes next.
You may want a second opinion if:
- Your lung disease is getting worse.
- Treatment is no longer working well.
- You’re starting to talk with your care team about transplant.
- You’ve been told you aren’t a transplant candidate.
A second opinion starts with a review of your medical information. Your team may recommend more testing, another treatment, or a formal transplant evaluation. A second opinion is different from an evaluation. An evaluation is a more in-depth process that helps determine whether transplant is right for you.
Two ways to start.
After you contact Mayo Clinic.
The team reviews your information and may ask for more records. Based on that review, they could recommend a lung transplant evaluation or connect you with another care team that better fits your needs.
