    Heart transplant: what is it?

    Heart transplant is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a sick native heart with a healthy one (taken from a donor). The first operation was carried out in South Africa in 1967 (the patient survived 18 days after the operation because of rejection of the graft by the immune system). Starting in the 1980s, researchers discovered the graft antirejection that increased the success rate of heart transplants.

    The heart transplant operation in Turkey is carried out for both adults and children and its main objective is to improve the quality of life of the person suffering from severe heart failure.

    Cardiac transplantation in Turkey: progress of the operation

    Before the operation

    This operation is carried out always in an emergency, in the few hours (generally 4 hours) which follow the obtaining of the heart of the donor. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 4 and 10 hours.

    The recipient receives the preoperative assessment and blood work to assess all vital functions.

    During the intervention

    The operation begins with the removal of almost all the diseased heart (except the roof of the left atrium with its 4 pulmonary veins) after the placement of the patient under an extracorporeal circulation which temporarily replaces the circulatory function of the heart. Then, the already prepared graft will be connected to the atrium of the old heart to begin the beat and the circulation of the blood in a normal way. Sometimes the new heart needs medicine to help pump blood to all the organs in the body.

    Following the operation

    After the operation, close supervision for a few days is mandatory, then in the cardiac surgery department 2 to 3 weeks before going to a cardiovascular rehabilitation home for a few weeks as well.
