01 / Treatment

Advanced Lung Failure Management

Comprehensive medical management of end-stage and advanced lung disease - from initial evaluation through optimization, bridging strategies, and transplant candidacy. Anchored in the protocols of one of Asia's largest thoracic transplant programmes.

Approach

End-to-end medical management before, between and after transplant.

Patients arrive at different stages of advanced lung disease - some seeking a second opinion, others referred for transplant evaluation, others stable but progressing. Dr. Manjunath M Negigoudara manages each case end-to-end across diagnosis, decision-making, intervention and long-term follow-up.
