Heart and Lung Transplant at Apollo!

An individual eligible for a heart and lung transplant is someone experiencing end-stage heart and lung failure where other treatments have been unsuccessful, prompting the need for a transformative intervention.

Our doctors conduct thorough evaluations by considering medical history, age, overall health, and psychological factors to determine the suitability of a heart and lung transplant for each candidate.

The heart and lung transplant option is explored when other treatments prove ineffective, and Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills ensures a meticulous evaluation process to determine its appropriateness for individuals facing end-stage heart and lung failure.

FAQs

A heart and lung transplant is a surgical procedure where both your heart and lungs are replaced with healthy organs from a donor. This life-saving surgery is performed to improve the function of these vital organs when they are severely damaged or failing.

Heart and lung transplants are usually considered for individuals with end-stage heart and lung diseases when other treatments have not been successful. These conditions can include heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, or severe lung diseases.

Heart transplantation is a potential solution for severe cardiac failure, but other treatments exist for underlying causes of heart failure. Procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery can treat coronary artery disease-related heart failure, while valve surgery or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can treat valve disease- related heart failure. In many cases, drug therapy may itself be sufficient to manage the condition. If a heart transplant isn't immediately feasible, patients can receive circulatory support with ECMO or an LVAD until a donor organ is available.

Lung transplantation is essential for severe lung failure resulting from different causes. Patients with end-stage lung failure due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis typically have no alternatives to lung transplantation. However, if their condition worsens while awaiting transplantation, ECMO can serve as a bridge. For severe emphysema, lung volume reduction surgery may sometimes be considered to postpone or prevent the need for a transplant.

The recovery period varies from patient to patient but typically involves a hospital stay of several weeks. Full recovery may take several months, and ongoing medical care is essential.

Organ rejection can occur, but with advanced medications and close monitoring, the risk is minimised. Our team closely monitors transplant recipients and adjusts medications as needed.

We are proud to have a success rate of 91% in our heart transplant program, making us a leader in the field.

The waiting list is a registry of patients awaiting suitable donor organs. The wait time can vary significantly and depends on factors like your blood type, body size, and the availability of matching donors. Our team will provide support and guidance throughout this waiting period.

To begin, you can contact us through our website or phone number and get connected with our transplant team. We will guide you through the evaluation process, including medical tests, assessments, and consultations.
