Bridge to Transplantation

Bridge to transplantation is a medical strategy used for patients with severe organ failure, such as heart or liver disease, who are awaiting a transplant. It involves temporary treatments or devices that help keep the patient's condition stable until a suitable donor organ becomes available. Common methods include the use of mechanical devices, medications, or other therapies that support organ function. This approach aims to improve the patient's health and increase the chances of a successful transplant, ultimately enhancing their quality of life during the waiting period.
