Pediatric Heart-Lung Transplant

Pediatric heart-lung transplant is a surgical procedure performed on children who have severe heart and lung diseases that cannot be treated with other therapies. In this operation, both the heart and lungs are removed from the child and replaced with healthy organs from a deceased donor. This complex procedure is necessary when both organs are failing, and it can significantly improve the child's quality of life and survival chances. After the transplant, the child requires lifelong medical care to help prevent organ rejection and manage their health.
