Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Dig into the science of how heart transplants happen, how donors are matched and find out how this complex surgery saves lives. Your heart beats more than 100, 000 times a day. In just a minute, it pumps over five liters of blood throughout your body. But unlike skin and bones, the heart has a limited ability to repair itself. So if this organ is severely damaged, there s often only one medical solution: replacing it. Roni Shanoada explores how this complex and intricate procedure works. Alisa: After years of work ups and jumping through hoops, my brother is finally on the heart and kidney transplant list. This video was awesome to share with my mom so she could understand a little bit better.

I've always wondered. Since hospital helicopters are equipped for patient transport, wouldn't it be safer to transport the recipient to the donor rather than the heart?
Less damage due to anoxia, might mean higher success rate.

As a person who had a heart attack 6 years ago I ask: is it worthy to make a so risky procedure just to live for another 5 years luckly enough to make it into 20? I don't know it's worthy enough.
reply

If my chances for living another 20 years is only 20% and I'd rather just pull the plug then put my family through that debt, and another 5 years just isn't worth what I'll be paying.

I'm currently in uni, but I'm hoping in the future I become a cardiovascular perfusionist that performs in open heart surgeries. The video was really good!
reply

How is the donor heart restarted once it has been sewn into place? And if so is there somewhere one can read more about the restarting of dead hearts?
reply

Haha. I heard the Egyptians thought that the heart is weighed against a feather or something. Imagine if they had heart transplant back then!
