Heart-Lung Transplant

A heart-lung transplant is a complex surgical procedure where both the heart and lungs are replaced with healthy organs from a donor. This surgery is typically performed on patients with severe heart and lung diseases that cannot be treated by other means. The goal is to improve the patient's overall quality of life and restore normal function. After the transplant, patients require careful monitoring and lifelong medication to prevent rejection of the new organs. This procedure is a significant option for those facing life-threatening conditions affecting both cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
