What are the reasons for heart transplantation

summary

Because of heart problems, the mood should be as calm as possible. The doctor also said that heart transplantation is a better way, but he always thinks that if there are some rejection reactions in transplantation, it may be more serious. Now let me talk about the reasons for heart transplantation.

What are the reasons for heart transplantation

First, during heart transplantation, the patient's heart is removed and the donor's heart is sutured back into the patient's chest. Heart transplantation can prolong the life of patients with severe heart disease. Heart transplantation is suitable for heart failure caused by the following factors: coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, primary cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure caused by heart valve disease, severe congenital heart disease, heart located in the chest, pumping blood from the lungs to the whole body.

Second: healthy hearts come from organ donors after brain death. The removed heart was preserved in a special salt solution. After general anesthesia, the doctor made an incision in the middle of the chest and sternum. The blood supply of the heart is interrupted, and the patient's blood is transported to the cardiopulmonary bypass device through the artificial pipeline, which temporarily replaces the patient's cardiopulmonary function and maintains the normal oxidation and circulation of the patient's blood.

Third: it is suitable for patients with advanced heart disease whose heart function is grade IV and all kinds of treatment are invalid. All kinds of serious cardiomyopathy. Large area of myocardial infarction, heart failure and no chance of coronary artery bypass grafting. Complex congenital heart disease that cannot be corrected. Rheumatic heart disease, combined valvular disease with extensive myocardial lesions. The same as the donor requirement.

matters needing attention

For patients, if the heart attack is more severe, it may be life-threatening, and if it is delayed for a long time, it may be more and more frequent, and the probability of doctor treatment will be smaller and smaller. Therefore, for patients, heart transplantation is a better way.
