    Heart Transplant

    A heart transplant is an option for those experiencing End stage heart disease from conditions like cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease, or congenital heart disease. It is considered when severe symptoms persist despite medical treatment, there’s a risk of death within the next few months without a transplant, and the patient is otherwise fit for major surgery. In heart transplant, a failing heart is replaced with a healthy one donated by a deceased individual who chose to save lives through organ donation.

    Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, performed the first heart transplant in 2013 on a 19-year old boy. Boasting over a decade of experience in heart transplants and implementing internationally recognized care standards for optimal outcomes and superior recovery, we proudly assert our position as the best hospital for heart transplants in Hyderabad.

    The journey of a transplantationheart transplant can bring about concerns and stress for both the patient and their families. To determine eligibility, the patient undergoes various assessments. Once deemed eligible, their name is added to the waiting list for a heart transplant. Apollo’s dedicated transplant team accompanies the patient throughout this journey, providing support and care until a successful recovery is achieved.

    Lung Transplant

    Lung is an effective treatment option for individuals with severe respiratory diseases that significantly compromise their lung function. Usually, the recipient’s lung tissue is significantly damaged and is requiring oxygen support for day to day activities. The lungs present unique challenges in transplantation because they are vulnerable to infections in the later stages of the donor’s life.

    Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, achieved a milestone by conducting the first successful lung transplant in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states on September 8, 2012. This groundbreaking procedure was performed on a 34-year-old woman. In our nation, only a select few surgeons possess the expertise to carry out successful lung transplants, and we take pride in having the best lung transplant surgeon in India.

    Lung transplantation is an option for conditions like interstitial lung disease, Pulmonary Fibrosis, bronchiectasis, Primary pulmonary hypertension, sarcoidosis, pulmonary fibrosis and Cystic fibrosis. It is mandatory and advised when other treatments have failed, and the patient’s life expectancy is only 12 to 24 months without a transplant.

    The transplant team at Apollo Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, provides ongoing care that involves monitoring your recovery, detecting infections, rejection, and medication intolerance early. In the first year, you will have monthly check-ups with blood tests, x-rays, and lung function tests.

    Heart and Lung Transplant

    The combined heart and lung transplant is a procedure where both the heart and lungs are surgically replaced in individuals with severe heart and lung diseases. This intricate transplant comes with a considerable risk of complications, including potential fatality.

    As a result, it is reserved for situations where all available treatment options have been explored, a standalone heart or lung transplant is not deemed advantageous, and the potential benefits of a combined transplant outweigh the associated risks.
