RESUMEN
El trasplante pulmonar representa una opción terapéutica en pacientes con fibrosis pulmonar avanzada que presentan un curso progresivo a pesar de tratamiento médico, mejorando su sobrevida y calidad de vida. Es de vital importancia que el neumólogo conozca cuando referir a un paciente y estar familiarizado con los requisitos necesarios y contraindicaciones para enviar un paciente a un centro de trasplante. La derivación oportuna permite realizar un completo estudio, además de identificar las contraindicaciones y condiciones clínicas susceptibles de modificar y/o corregir antes de un trasplante.
