My grandmother will have a heart transplant operation in a while. Let's not say whether the operation is expensive or not. As long as we can ensure the stability of grandma's condition, our family members don't know the success rate of this kind of operation. Let's take a look at the success rate of heart transplant operation.

How many successful heart transplant operations

First: the success rate of surgery alone is very high, almost 100%. The number of years you live depends on whether you take medicine on time and pay attention to hygiene. This operation has been carried out for more than 20 years in foreign countries. Although human heart transplantation began in 1967, it was only accepted as a treatment for end-stage heart disease in the early 1980s.

Second, the progress of immunosuppressive therapy and graft disposal makes heart transplantation possible and leads to the success and continuous development of heart lung transplantation. Intrathoracic organ transplantation has been widely used in many centers all over the world, and has been applied to more and more patients.

Third: according to the registration of the international Heart Transplantation Association in 1994, there were more than 30200 heart transplantation operations in 257 transplant centers, while before 1980, the total number of heart transplantation was less than 360, which further shows that heart transplantation has developed in the near future.

When our family members, relatives and friends do heart transplantation surgery, as long as they pay attention to postoperative care, the general situation is better. After all, the surgery does not want to be as simple as wearing and taking off clothes, there are some risks. I hope the patients' friends and family members can be prepared psychologically.
