Overview - Heart and Lung Transplant
A heart or cardiac transplant is a surgical transplant procedure performed on patients with severe coronary artery disease or end-stage heart failure when other medical or surgical treatments have failed to work.
A lung transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a diseased or failing lung with a healthy lung, usually from a deceased donor. A lung transplant is reserved for people who have tried other medications or treatments, but their conditions haven’t sufficiently improved.
