cardiac transplant surgery

Cardiac transplant surgery is a medical procedure in which a failing heart is replaced with a healthy heart from a deceased donor. This surgery is typically considered when a patient has severe heart disease and other treatments have failed. The procedure involves carefully removing the damaged heart and connecting the donor heart to the patient’s blood vessels. After the transplant, the patient requires lifelong medication to prevent rejection of the new organ. Cardiac transplants can dramatically improve the quality of life and overall health for patients with end-stage heart failure.
