Heart and lung transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a failing heart or lungs with healthy organs from a donor. This type of transplant is often necessary for patients with severe heart or lung diseases, such as congestive heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The goal is to improve the patient's quality of life and increase their chances of survival. The process begins with finding a suitable donor, which can be challenging due to the need for organ compatibility. After the transplant, patients require lifelong follow-up care and medications to prevent organ rejection and manage their health. Successful transplants can significantly enhance the patient's overall well-being.
