Heart Lung Transplant

A heart-lung transplant is a major and rarely performed surgical procedure.
During a heart-lung transplant, a person's diseased heart and lungs are replaced with the heart and lungs of a recently deceased donor. As with any transplant there are risks, but the procedure aims to extend or improve quality of life in suitable candidates.[1]
