It’s typically needed when your heart can no longer pump blood effectively due to severe heart failure or disease, and other treatments have failed. A transplant replaces your damaged heart with a healthy donor heart to restore function and improve your quality of life. Your cardiologist will recommend it based on your condition’s severity and overall health.
Tests like echocardiograms and blood work evaluate your heart and match you with a donor.
General anesthesia ensures you’re unconscious and pain-free during the procedure.
Surgeons remove your diseased heart and implant the donor heart, connecting major blood vessels.
The chest is closed with stitches, followed by intensive care monitoring.
The surgery typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on complications. Your surgeon will explain specifics during consultation.
Heart transplant surgery is complex but safe with expert teams, though risks include:
Infection at the surgical site
Rejection of the donor heart
Bleeding or blood clots
Coronary artery disease in the new heart
Serious complications occur in less than 5% of cases. SB Medical Travels partners with top hospitals to minimize risks and ensure the best outcomes.
Preparation is crucial for a successful heart transplant and recovery:
Fast for 8-12 hours prior if under general anesthesia
Discuss medications with your doctor; adjustments may be needed
Pack loose, comfortable clothing for your hospital stay
Arrange for a companion to assist you post-surgery
SB Medical Travels provides a detailed pre-surgery checklist and personalized guidance to prepare you fully.
7-14 days, depending on your condition and recovery progress.
Rest and limited activity. Medications manage pain and prevent rejection.
Gradual increase in activity. Cardiac rehab may begin to build strength.
Most resume normal life with improved heart function, under ongoing care.
Our team will coordinate your recovery plan, including follow-ups and rehabilitation services.
Pain management is a key focus during and after heart transplant surgery:
You’ll feel no pain under general anesthesia during the procedure.
Chest soreness and discomfort are expected; pain medication will help.
Pain decreases within weeks. Most transition to mild painkillers soon after.
Some may feel occasional discomfort; rehab can aid long-term comfort.
Our partner hospitals prioritize effective pain management, and we’ll ensure your recovery is comfortable.
