“…Most recently, COVID-19 as well as new viral respiratory causes of ARDS have emerged as a growing public health threat. COVID-19 related interstitial lung disease has been identified in some patients after acute illness ( 81 , 82 ). There have been a small number of case series published on LTx due to COVID-19 ( 83 ).…”

“…Now, 364 lung transplants have been performed for COVID-19 in the United States, with over 60% of those transplants performed for COVID-19-associated ARDS. In fact, COVID-19-related diagnoses accounted for nearly 10% of the United States lung transplants performed in 2021 [ 12 ▪▪ ]. However, lung transplantation was not accepted as potentially life-saving treatment for COVID-19-associated ARDS without first discussing some concerns.…”

In fact, Weder et al [ 12 ▪▪ ] have begun to create a global registry for COVID-19-related lung transplants to help guide clinical practices and analyze outcomes. This registry would also allow for assessment of outcomes of COVID-19 single lung transplants, which is critically important to expand an already limited donor pool of lungs.…”
