A heart transplant is a life-saving surgery for end-stage heart failure performed only for patients in which other treatments have proven to be ineffective. Dr. Sujay Shad, (MBBS, MS, RCPS, FRCS (Cardiothoracic Surgery)) is an expert in performing heart transplant surgeries and he has helped save the lives of many heart patients after the surgery. In this invasive procedure, the diseased or defective heart is replaced with a healthy heart received from an organ donor. It is performed under general anesthesia in sterile conditions. During the operation, Dr. Sujay Shad, an expert heart transplant surgeon in India makes an incision into the chest and cuts the sternum in half to reach the failing heart for its removal. The new donor heart is sewn in right place and the blood vessels are connected to it. Until the donor's heart is transplanted, the patient is placed on the cardiopulmonary bypass machine.
