Overview

HeartLung Transplantation is a major surgical procedure in which both organs – the heart and lungs – are replaced with those from a donor. This operation has the potential to save the lives of individuals who have end-stage heart or lung failure. It has also been used to treat diseases like cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension. HeartLung Transplantation is a complex yet successful procedure that requires extensive pre- and post-operative care. The success of the transplant depends on the compatibility of the patient’s blood and tissue type with the donor’s organs and the patient’s overall health. With advances in medical technology, outcomes have improved significantly and risks have been minimized, resulting in more successful operations. Ultimately, heart-lung transplantation offers hope to patients with end-stage heart and/or lung failure and is an option of last resort when other treatments have failed.
