Heart Transplant at CET CONSULT & Baskent Hospital
At CET CONSULT, in partnership with Baskent Hospital in Turkey, we provide world-class heart transplant services designed to restore your heart’s function and significantly improve your quality of life. Our comprehensive, patient-focused approach ensures a seamless process, from thorough pre-operative evaluation to long-term post-operative care, delivering personalized treatment that meets your unique needs.
What Is a Heart Transplant?
A heart transplant is a life-saving surgical procedure in which a diseased heart is removed and replaced with a healthy donor heart. This complex operation involves carefully connecting major blood vessels to ensure the new heart functions properly, thereby restoring normal cardiac function and offering a renewed opportunity for life.
Pre-Operative Procedures
- Comprehensive Cardiac Evaluation:
We conduct detailed cardiac assessments, including echocardiograms, coronary angiograms, and blood tests, to determine the extent of heart failure and assess your overall health. - Donor Matching:
Urgent matching is performed based on blood type, body size, and immunological factors to ensure the best possible compatibility between donor and recipient. - Pre-Surgery Optimization:
Our team works to stabilize your condition and manage any comorbidities. In some cases, bridging therapies such as ventricular assist devices (VADs) are employed to support you until the transplant. - Patient Counseling:
In-depth consultations explain the risks, the necessity for lifelong immunosuppression, and the lifestyle changes required post-transplant. We ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with your treatment plan.
The Surgical Procedure
During the heart transplant, our expert cardiac surgeons at Baskent Hospital perform the operation with precision. The diseased heart is removed, and a healthy donor heart is implanted. The new heart is then meticulously connected to your major blood vessels to ensure proper function.
Post-Operative Care & Recovery
- ICU & Hospital Stay:
Following the surgery, you will be closely monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 1–2 weeks. A subsequent hospital stay of 3–4 weeks ensures comprehensive recovery and stabilization of your new heart. - Immunosuppression Therapy:
Lifelong immunosuppressive medications are essential to prevent graft rejection. Regular monitoring of drug levels is performed to ensure your new heart is well-protected. - Rehabilitation:
Enrollment in a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program helps you gradually resume physical activity, adopt dietary changes, and manage stress, all of which are vital for long-term recovery. - Long-Term Monitoring:
Regular follow-up visits, including echocardiograms and blood tests, are scheduled to monitor your heart function, detect early signs of rejection, and adjust medications as needed.
