title: Advances in lung transplantation: the year in review.
abstract: This article introduces a new offering from the Journal, with analysis of the key publications in lung transplantation (LTx) over the past year. To assemble the list of citations, a MEDLINE search was performed using the keyword "lung transplantation" with dates of publication from July 2009 through June 2010. In addition, tables of contents for major journals covering organ transplantation, respiratory diseases and thoracic surgery were reviewed to identify any reports not picked up by the MEDLINE search. Articles were chosen by the authors for their perceived impact on the care of LTx patients or their relevance to understanding the pathophysiology of complications after LTx.
