Heart & Lung Transplant

Heart & Lung Transplant

Heart-lung transplantation (HLTx) is a surgical procedure for replacing failed heart and lungs. This type of dual transplantation is often coupled with technical complexity, leading to early post-operative complications and emphasizing the need for meticulous surgical planning and efficient teamwork. Also, according to the based-on-risk-benefit ratio, this type of surgery is only performed once the patient meets specific criteria.
