Heart transplantation is surgery that replaces a failing heart with a donor heart.
Heart transplantation is an operation in which a failing heart is replaced with a donor heart. It is a specific treatment for selected people, not a general description of all heart surgery or heart failure care.
A specialist transplant team assesses whether transplantation is an appropriate option. Care continues after surgery through long-term follow-up. The phrase “heart transplantation” alone does not show that someone is eligible, that a donor organ is available, or what the outcome will be.
