title: Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and gestational surrogacy in a patient with lung transplant: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common genetic disorders that can often lead to chronic pulmonary disease. Patients with respiratory failure due to CF may achieve a good quality of life after lung transplant, and many will desire to have children.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 26-year-old, nulliparous female with CF and double lung transplant presented for fertility treatment. She was successfully treated with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and gestational surrogacy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and gestational surrogacy is a safe option for patients with lung transplant to have a genetic child.
