HEART TRANSPLANT

-Saiee Supekar 9.A

What is a heart transplant
• A heart transplant is an operation in which a diseased heart is replaced with a
healthy donor’s heart.
• Heart transplant usually takes place for people whose condition cannot be
improved even by medications or other surgeries [eg:bypass surgery, heart valve
replacement, open heart surgery or stent]
 Step by step heart transplant
• Connect you to a heart-lung machine. It does the work of your heart and takes the
strain off your lungs. It pumps filtered, oxygen-rich blood into your body so your
heart is still during the operation.
• Remove your diseased heart.
• Replace it with the healthy donor heart.
