Heart Transplant
Chennai
Heart Transplant in Chennai is available at 1 hospital in the Voumed network.
A heart transplant replaces a failing heart with a healthy heart from a deceased donor, and it is the definitive treatment for end-stage heart failure when medicines, devices and other operations can no longer keep the heart working. The new heart is donated by a person who has been declared dead and whose family has chosen to give the organ, and it must be carefully matched to the recipient by blood group and body size. Patients travel abroad for a heart transplant to reach high-volume centres with experienced surgical, cardiology and intensive-care teams, coordinated waiting-list management and the mechanical support that can keep a patient stable until a donor heart becomes available. It is one of the most demanding operations in medicine, but for the right patient it can transform a life limited by severe heart failure into an active one again.
