This month on JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors host a discussion on the paper, “Lung transplant in patients with suspicious lung lesions: A single-center retrospective data analysis,” which appears in the December print issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation.

They are joined by senior author Stefan Schwarz, MD, PhD, of the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the Medical University of Vienna. He appears on the podcast to share his perspective on the field of thoracic surgery and a fascinating discussion about this unique patient cohort.
