Heart Transplant Surgery

Heart transplant surgery is a procedure where a failing or damaged heart is replaced with a healthy heart from a deceased donor. The surgery involves removing the patient's heart and connecting the new heart to the blood vessels, allowing it to pump blood throughout the body. It’s typically recommended for patients with severe heart disease who haven’t responded to other treatments. Post-surgery, patients must take medications to prevent their body from rejecting the new heart and will need regular follow-up care to ensure their health and monitor the function of the transplanted organ.
