The Domino
Transplant is an orthortopic transplant performed using a heart which has come
from a patient receiving a new heart and Lungs, this is in the case of both
Samantha and Myself when back in 1987 we became the World’s Youngest Domino
Transplants at that time.
The
hearts are unaffected but have slightly thickened right side, which is
accustomed to pumping at a slightly higher rate as a result of lung disease.
The
hearts are usually used for patients with a higher pressure in the lungs….
