Pediatric Heart-Lung Transplantation

Pediatric heart-lung transplantation is a surgical procedure where a child with severe heart and lung disease receives a donor heart and lungs. This transplant helps improve quality of life and survival when medical treatments are no longer effective. The surgery involves removing the diseased organs and carefully connecting the healthy donor organs, followed by close medical care to prevent rejection. It is a complex but life-saving option for children with critical cardiopulmonary conditions, offering a chance for improved function and longer life.
