A heart transplant is an operation in which the healthy heart of a donor serves as a replacement for the diseased heart of a recipient.
This surgery is usually performed when the treatment that the patient was carrying out has not given the expected results. Thus, the disease continues and worsens, producing heart failure.
Heart transplantation is a complicated operation. However, the survival rate is high if the procedure is carried out properly.
Transplantation, generically, must be carried out within four hours of the extraction. This is why hearts are offered in the first place to transplant centers close to where the donor is located.
