Heart Transplantation

Get well soon, Jaideep Sen

Most women are ready to offer their organs to their sick husbands to save their lives, but the reverse rarely happens. Such is the deep-rooted patriarchal bias in society.

An Indian heart has given new life to a young woman from Karachi in Pakistan, and her family, after a transplant surgery at Chennai's MGM Healthcare.

Four decades after being diagnosed with a serious heart condition and given just six months to live, Bert Janssen has set a Guinness World Record as the longest-surviving transplant patient.

According to the University of Maryland School of Medicine, the heart had seemed healthy for the first month but began showing signs of rejection in recent days.

A 30-year-old woman from Massachusetts, grappling with a rare genetic condition, is being sustained by a mechanical implant while she anxiously awaits a suitable donor to provide her with a new heart.

Scientists are now hopeful that this could solve the human organ shortage by using animals as donors.

An organ transplant is a major procedure wherein caregivers and family members play a crucial role in providing support to patients.

A 58-year-old man this week became the world's second patient to receive a transplant of a genetically modified pig heart, the latest milestone in a growing field of medical research.

The survival prospects for little Diana (name changed), a one-and-a-half-year-old girl, appeared bleak as she was urgently flown from Bulgaria to MGM Healthcare in Chennai, following severe heart failure.

The vital organ was sent through a green corridor created by the civil administration before being transported to Pune, more than 700 km from Nagpur, on an Indian Air Force (IAF) AN-32 aircraft.

This is the first time that a heart transplant surgery has been performed on a child so young.

She expressed how she hopes it would support organ donation, which she described as "the greatest gift possible."

Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital performed heart transplantation of a 44-year-old man from Samastipur in Bihar, the first such procedure at the Centre-run facility.

The heart from a 34-year-old brain dead man in Madhya Pradesh's Indore was flown to Pune in a special plane of the Indian Army today to be transplanted to a soldier suffering from a heart ailment, an official said.
