Pediatric Heart Transplantation

Pediatric heart transplantation is a medical procedure where a child's diseased heart is replaced with a healthy heart from a deceased donor. It's typically considered for children with severe heart conditions that can't be treated with medications or surgery. The process involves careful evaluation to ensure the child is a suitable candidate. After transplantation, the child will require lifelong medical care to prevent organ rejection and manage any complications. This complex operation can significantly improve a child's quality of life and overall health, allowing them to grow and thrive despite their previous heart issues.
