Understanding your care

Heart transplant for advanced heart failure

Heart transplant replaces a failing heart with a donated heart and is reserved for carefully selected people with advanced, irreversible heart disease when other treatment is no longer effective.

The process involves detailed evaluation, waiting-list and organ-allocation rules, surgery, intensive monitoring, rehabilitation, and lifelong rejection prevention.

Treatment options

Heart Transplant pathways considered after assessment

These options are educational, not a recommendation. The treating team selects a pathway after diagnosis and risk review.

  • 01

    Orthotopic heart transplant

    The failing heart is replaced with a donor heart using the standard transplant approach.

  • 02

    Pediatric heart transplant

    A dedicated pediatric program assesses children with selected end-stage heart conditions.

  • 03

    Mechanical circulatory support

    An LVAD or other support device may be considered as a bridge to transplant or destination therapy.

  • 04

    Combined heart-lung assessment

    Selected patients with advanced combined disease may require review by both transplant programs.
