El trasplante pulmonar es una modalidad terapéutica en constante evolución. El Grupo de Trabajo de San Luis es conocido por sus contribuciones en el campo del trasplante unipulmonar, y mantiene en la actualidad abiertos dos programas para adultos y niños, respectivamente, sumamente activos.

Además, desarrolla una intensa actividad en el campo experimental con el desarrollo de distintos modelos de preservación pulmonar, así como de estudios a medio y largo plazo.

Por último, este equipo elabora y mantiene el Registro Internacional de Trasplantes Pulmonares, que agrupa a una gran mayoría de las operaciones de este tipo realizadas en el mundo. Ello permite el control de los resultados de la técnica, así como una valoración de futuras alternativas.

Lung transplantation is a constantly changing form of therapy. The St. Louis Work Group is known for its contributions in the area of single lung transplant, with two highly active programs running at present, one for adults and one for children.

The Group is also active in research, in the development of various methods for lung preservation, and in medium-and long-term studies.

Finally, this team writes and updates the International Register of Lung Transplants, which brings together the vast majority of operations of this type done worldwide. The Register permits control of results of lung transplant operations as well as the assessment of future alternatives.
