How often does heart transplant operation reexamine

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. About 80% of the patients survived for 2 years. Like other organ transplantation, the biggest problem of heart transplantation is graft rejection.

Second, if the rejection is controlled, the patient can survive for more than 10 years. Postoperative patients need to take immunosuppressants irregularly. When patients feel better, they can carry out appropriate daily activities under the guidance of doctors. However, strenuous physical labor must be avoided.

Third: after general anesthesia, the doctor makes a surgical 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. Heart transplantation is suitable for all kinds of patients with advanced heart disease whose treatment is ineffective and cardiac function is grade IV.

It's better for patients to focus on the condition of having a heart transplant at least once a month if they don't have one.
