A heart transplant is a complex surgical procedure in which a diseased heart is replaced with a healthy donor heart. It is considered a life-saving treatment for advanced heart failure when medications and other procedures are no longer effective.
Although heart transplant surgery is a major procedure, advances in surgical techniques, patient selection, and post-operative care have significantly improved safety and long-term outcomes.
A heart transplant is usually recommended for patients with end-stage heart disease who do not respond to conventional treatment.
Conditions that may require heart transplantation include:
Eligibility depends on overall health, disease severity, and response to previous treatments. Availability of a suitable donor heart is also essential.
At ABMH, patients receive coordinated transplant care supported by experienced cardiac specialists and advanced surgical infrastructure.

The procedure involves removing the diseased heart and replacing it with a healthy donor heart, which is connected to the major blood vessels to restore circulation.
Following surgery, patients require intensive monitoring, immunosuppressive medications to prevent rejection, and supervised rehabilitation for recovery.
Many patients experience significant improvement in energy levels, physical activity, and quality of life after transplantation. However, lifelong follow-up and regular medication remain essential for maintaining heart function and preventing complications.
Patients may also discuss practical considerations such as recovery timelines, long-term care requirements, and heart transplant surgery cost during treatment planning.
