A heart transplant is a complex yet life-saving medical procedure that becomes essential for individuals suffering from end-stage heart disease. At Broad Health Network, we specialize in providing seamless access to world-class heart transplant services in India, ensuring that international patients receive exceptional care, from diagnosis to recovery.
A heart transplant involves the surgical replacement of a diseased or failing heart with a healthy donor heart. This procedure is typically recommended when all other medical or surgical interventions have failed, and the patient’s condition is critical.
Patients may be eligible for a transplant if they are diagnosed with:
There are several types of heart transplant procedures, depending on the patient’s condition and requirements:
Type of Transplant | Description |
Orthotopic Transplant | The most common type, where the recipient’s heart is removed and replaced with a donor heart. |
Heterotopic Transplant | The donor heart is connected to the existing heart without removing it. Used in select cases. |
Domino Transplant | A scenario in which the recipient’s own heart is transplanted into another patient. |
Pediatric Transplant | Specialized heart transplant procedures for infants and children with congenital or acquired conditions. |
Many conditions can lead to heart failure, ultimately requiring a transplant. Understanding these conditions helps in early diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.
