Heart Transplant

Overview

The Heart Transplant Program, Institute of Cardiac Sciences, at the Sir H. N. Foundation Reliance Hospital brings together highly skilled surgeons, cardiologists, nurses, and support staff dedicated to delivering compassionate, patient-focused care. We aim to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient using advanced imaging systems and cutting-edge surgical technology.

Our highly specialised and qualified medical staff will take you through the heart transplant process, right from pre-surgical management to surgery and post-surgical rehabilitation. We also offer personalised follow-up care as part of our patient-centric ethos.

Our team carefully evaluates and supports every patient throughout the transplant journey, from pre-operative assessment to surgery, recovery, and long-term follow-up care.

Location: Level 1, Heritage Building

Timings: 11:00 am to 01:00 pm

Conditions We Treat

Multiorgan transplants:
- Heart-kidney transplant: For people with a failing heart as well as kidneys.
- Heart-liver transplant: For people with certain liver and heart conditions.
- Heart-lung transplant (rarely performed): For patients with severe lung and heart diseases untreatable with either a heart or lung transplant alone.
Ventricular assist device (VAD): A VAD is a mechanical or artificial heart pump implanted in the chest. It helps the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. Implanting this device is an option for someone who cannot have a heart transplant.
Pre-surgical consultation: Includes regular monitoring of your heart and other organs and recommendations for dietary and lifestyle changes to help you adjust to your new heart.
Post-surgery exercise and diet education: After the surgical procedure, we continue diet and exercise education to help you improve your health and recover after a heart transplant.
Long-term monitoring: We also closely monitor you for signs of transplant rejection and offer long-term follow-ups after a heart transplant to evaluate the effectiveness of the surgery.

Along with heart transplant surgery, we also offer bridge treatments, including bridge-to-recovery and bridge-to-transplant interventions, such as mechanical circulatory support, which represents the application of devices that enhance blood pumping by the heart, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which is a life-support technology that provides cardiac and respiratory support, and VADs.

Heart failure in adults due to:
- Cardiomyopathy: Weakening of the heart muscle.
- Coronary artery disease: Buildup of plaque in the arteries that blood to the heart, ultimately hampering cardiac function.
- Heart valve disease: Thickening/stiffening of the valves, leakage of blood resulting from the valves not closing tightly, or malformation of the valves.
- Congenital heart defects: Heart defects present at birth.
- Heart rhythm problems not controlled by other treatments: Irregular heartbeat that other treatments could not manage.
- Failure of a previous heart transplant
Heart failure in children due to:
- Congenital heart defect: Heart defects present at birth.
- Cardiomyopathy: Weakening of the heart muscle.
