Hearts that are transplanted come from organ donors. Organ donors are adults or children who have become critically ill, often due to an accidental injury, and will not live because of their illness or injury. If the donor is an adult, he or she may have agreed to be an organ donor before becoming ill. Also, parents and spouses can also agree to donate a relative's organ. Donors can come from any part of the United States. Who decides who gets an organ?

WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS SCHOOL OF MEDICINE PEDIATRICS CARDIOLOGY HEART TRANSPLANT Contact Us Personnel Clinical Services Links ... Fellowships Heart Transplantation Background St. Louis Children's Hospital has one of the most active pediatric heart transplant programs in the country, with patients coming from all over the greater Midwest. Since it's establishment in 1986 under the direction of Dr. Charles Canter, more than 165 patients, ranging in age from 3 days to 22 years have received new organs. Transplantation is now routinely offered as therapy for end stage acquired or critical congenital heart disease when no other satisfactory medical or surgical options are available. Preparation for Transplantation A comprehensive evaluation is undertaken prior to consideration for transplantation. A skilled team of cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurse clinicians, nursing staff, social workers and therapists work in concert with the family to prepare for the transplantation and keep the patient in optimal health during the wait for a suitable organ. Depending on the nature and severity of the underlying heart disease, your child may be required to be in hospital while waiting. Outcome After Transplantation Despite the severity of the underlying diseases, pediatric heart transplantation carries an outstanding prognosis. Survival rates for children who received heart transplants at St. Louis Children's Hospital is comparable with the national one-year survival rate for all age groups. After their transplants, these infants, children and older pediatric patients exhibit normal growth, development and ability to fight common childhood infections. The vast majority attend school and participate in a variety of normal childhood activities, such as sports. Pediatric heart transplant recipients, like their adult counterparts, need to take medicine daily to prevent organ rejection. In addition, surveillance for rejection is performed on a regular basis.

On this page: Medical Term Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping organ transplant Medical Term Heart transplant A surgical procedure in which a diseased heart is replaced with a healthy heart from a deceased person. The world's first heart transplant was done on December 3, 1967 by South African surgeon Christiaan Bernard (1922-2001). The recipient was Louis Washkansky, a grocer. The surgery went well. However, Mr. Washkansky was left vulnerable to infection from the large doses of immune-suppressing drugs (azathioprine and hydrocortisone) and radiation he received. He died of pneumonia 18 days after surgery. The second human heart transplant was also done by Dr. Barnard. On Jan. 2, 1968, Dr. Barnard transplanted the heart of a young man into a retired dentist, Philip Blaiberg. (The young man was of "mixed race" while Dr. Blaiberg was white. The fact that Dr. Bernard ignored racial barriers caused a sensation in apartheid South Africa.) The amount of antirejection drugs was reduced and Dr. Blaiberg survived for 19 months and 15 days. He died of chronic organ rejection. Heart transplant surgery has now become a standard procedure. It had been done about 100,000 times as of 2001 and was carried out on about 2,100 patients in 160 hospitals in the U.S. in 2001, with a one-year success rate of 85-90% and a five-year success rate of 75%.

Barnard, 78, died in his hotel room in the southwest coastal town of Paphos, said Dr. Maro Svana, a spokeswoman for Paphos General Hospital. He was taken from the hotel in an ambulance to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1 a.m. (6 p.m. Saturday EDT), she said. An autopsy will be performed Monday. In a five-hour operation at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town in 1967, Barnard replaced the diseased heart of Louis Washkansky with that of a woman in her mid-20s who had died in a car accident. Washkansky died 18 days later of double pneumonia, the result of his suppressed immune system. But the surgery represented a milestone, and propelled the South Africa surgeon, then 45, to acclaim. "On Saturday, I was a surgeon in South Africa, very little known," he recalled years later to a documentary producer. "On Monday, I was world renowned."

What It's Used For Preparation How It's Done ... Additional Info What Is It? A heart transplant is surgery in which a patient with a life-threatening heart problem receives a new, healthy heart from a person who has died. In a heart transplant, the patient who receives the new heart (the recipient) is someone who has a 30% to 70% risk of dying within one year without a new heart. The person who provides the healthy heart (the donor) is usually someone who has been declared brain dead and is still on life-support machinery. Heart donors are usually younger than 50, have no history of heart problems, and do not have any infectious diseases.

Am J Psychiatry. 2005 Mar;162(3):453-7. The outcome of heart transplants in patients with schizophrenia is unknown, mainly because having a diagnosis of schizophrenia is an automatic exclusion criterion for heart transplant in most transplant programs worldwide. Here a case is presented of a young man with schizophrenia who was initially denied a heart transplant because of assumptions about his psychiatric vulnerability, his ability to communicate, and his likelihood of complying with complex posttransplant treatment. The authors claim that there was little objective information to support these assumptions, and so in this article they describe Mr. A’s case and how it was brought before an ethics committee resulting in the overturning of the initial rejection. They also describe the subsequent successful medical and psychiatric outcomes of the heart transplant operation. Mr. A, is a 37-year-old African American single man who lives with his mother, two brothers, and a sister and has been treated in his neighborhood outpatient psychiatric clinic for 15 years. He is unemployed and supported by Supplemental Security Income. He attended special education classes until age 16 when he dropped out of school when his schizophrenia symptoms began.

My donor, Brandon, was only 15, riding his bike home when he was tragically hit and killed by a car. That's him on the cover in his football uniform. During my illness and wait for an organ, I lost faith in God but He never gave up on me.

Microsoft Corp Top programmers on Wednesday released a major update to Linux, version 2.6.0, a change that's expected to help carry the open-source operating system into new markets. The new version of the core, or kernel, of Linux has several changes that make Linux better suited to powerful computers with numerous processors, a market dominated today by servers running versions of the Unix operating system on which Linux is based. This version will be the first major change since 2.4.0 was released in January 2001. From its lowly roots as a student project Linus Torvalds began 12 years ago, the software has matured to become a major competitor to Microsoft and a key part of most computing companies' plans. As expected , Linux leader and founder Torvalds announced the new kernel in a note to the kernel mailing list, expressing some satisfaction that most problems had been stamped out before the final update was delivered. "It's not the totally empty patch I was hoping for, but judging by the bugs I worked on personally, things are looking pretty good," Torvalds said.
