Department of Thoracic Surgery, Medical University of Vienna (lung transplantation): selected for this site by publication presence, not an official ranking. PubMed holds 44 lung-transplant CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection records from 2016 to 2026 with an author affiliation naming this institution.
As of . Primary source: Universitätsklinik für Thoraxchirurgie, MedUni Wien (official page, German).
Summary
The official page (in German) lists lung transplantation among the clinical focus areas of the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the AKH Wien and its research, and lists a Vienna-Toronto-Vanderbilt Lung Transplant Academy among its teaching pages. Why it is listed: a PubMed affiliation search run on 2026-10-10 found 44 records for 2016 to 2026 and 33 for 2021 to 2026 that match the CLAD, BOS or chronic rejection lung transplant query and have at least one author affiliation matching "Vienna". This is a selection by publication presence, not an official ranking, and it does not measure quality, outcomes or superiority. Counts include any record with one author from the institution, not only first or last authors, and affiliation matching is approximate; the exact queries are in docs/CENTRE-SELECTION.md. Papers already in this site whose PubMed record lists an author affiliation naming this institution are linked below; this does not show that the programme itself produced the work.
