Adult heart transplants

In this highly specialised procedure, a heart from an organ donor who has passed away is transplanted into the patient’s chest in a carefully coordinated procedure.

Thanks to the tremendous advances in cardiac medicine over the years, heart transplant procedures are now considered fairly routine. This well proven treatment offers excellent outcomes for individuals whose own heart is failing, making it possible for them to regain the quality of life they previously enjoyed for many more years or even decades.

Netcare Milpark Hospital’s heart transplant programme has been providing transplant services and a new chance at life since 1994.
