Will My Child Be Considered For A Heart And/or Lung Transplant?

Answer»

In a small number of children with severe heart problems, the doctors may discuss the possibility of a heart and/or LUNG transplant. There are many important aspects to the doctors' decision to recommend a transplant.

This procedure cannot be GUARANTEED as a long-term CURE. The family will require extensive COUNSELLING before the decision is made. The hospital has a transplant co-ordinator who works with the cardiologist and surgeon.

Together they provide detailed information on the heart and/or lung transplant. The family will be provided with time for full discussion with the transplant team.
