Cardiac Transplantation
Cardiac transplantation is a surgical procedure that replaces a diseased heart with a healthy donor heart. It is used as a life-saving treatment for end-stage heart failure, where the patient's heart is unable to adequately pump blood around the body. During the procedure, the patient's diseased heart is removed and replaced with a healthy donor heart. The healthy donor heart is carefully matched to the patient to ensure a good fit and minimal risks. Cardiac transplantation is a complex and invasive procedure that carries risks, but has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life of people with end-stage heart failure.
