Department of Heart Transplant

Congenital Heart Defects

Heart transplantation is a life-saving procedure performed on patients with severe heart failure whose hearts can no longer pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. The procedure involves replacing a diseased or failing heart with a healthy heart from a deceased donor. Patients undergo thorough evaluations and assessments to determine their eligibility for transplantation, and our team provides personalized care throughout the transplant journey, from pre-transplant evaluation to post-transplant follow-up, making us a trusted choice for Top Heart Transplant in Mumbai.

Diagnosis: 
Patients with advanced heart failure may experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs and abdomen, and difficulty performing daily activities. Diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms, cardiac catheterization, MRI scans, and blood tests help our team evaluate the severity of heart failure and assess the need for heart transplantation. Patient history, physical exams, and other specialized tests are also crucial in the diagnostic process.

Treatment: 
Heart transplantation is considered when other treatments for heart failure, such as medications, lifestyle changes, and device therapies, are no longer effective. The transplant procedure involves meticulous surgical techniques to remove the diseased heart and implant the donor heart. After transplantation, patients require lifelong immunosuppressive medications to prevent rejection of the new heart. Our team provides comprehensive pre-transplant education, surgical expertise, post-operative care, and long-term management to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.
