It is the home of thoracic/cardiothoracic surgeons (group 8.1) and of the lung transplantĀ­ation group (group 8.2). Although small, we represent a definite need within the society as surgery, and lung transplantation more specifically, are key elements in treatment when other options fail.Meet ERS Assembly 8: Thoracic surgery and transplantation http://ow.ly/4mIBJ3 ER -
