Key Points

To evaluate the clinical outcomes and survival of patients undergoing lung transplantation for COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Single-center case series of 102 consecutive patients who underwent lung transplantation between January 21, 2020, and September 30, 2021.
Assessed post-transplantation survival through November 15, 2021, in the subset of patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS (N=30).
Survival was 100% among the 30 patients transplanted for COVID-19-associated ARDS as of November 15, 2021.
Observed complete early post-transplant survival in this cohort following severe viral respiratory failure.

Implication

Case series shows 100% survival after lung transplant in patients with COVID-19–associated ARDS, indicating its viability for severe disease.
