HEART TRANSPLANT
• A heart transplant is a surgery
which consists on removing a
damaged or diseased heart and
replace it with a healthy donor
heart.
• Finding a donor heart can be
difficult. The heart must be
donated by someone who is braindead but is still on life support. The donor heart must be matched
as closely as possible to your
tissue type to reduce the chance
that your body will reject it.
Heart transplant surgery may not be used in patients who:
Are malnourished
Are older than age 55 to 60
Have had a severe stroke or dementia
Have had cancer
Have HIV infection
Have infections, such as hepatitis, that are active
Have insulin-dependent diabetes and other organs that
aren’t working correctly
• Have kidney, lung, nerve, or liver disease
• Have no family support and do not follow their treatment • Have other diseases that affect the blood vessels of the neck and leg.
