T20 Heart Transplant at Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre

Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre has successfully done a T20 heart transplant. A 21 year old engineering student was transplanted with the heart of a 24 year old brain dead engineer on the 29th of last month. The heart was brought from K.G.Hospital, Coimbatore and the Tamilnadu police provided a green corridor from and to airport from hospital at both ends that saved precious minutes. The donor who had worked as an engineer in Singapore had come to Tiruppur for a family function when his car met with an accident on the 27th. His parents’ generosity with organ donation saved a few lives.

‘The recipient who had consumed poison had suffered dilated cardiomyopathy. He was lucky to get a heart that suited him and he is now discharged and following up with post transplant outpatient treatment’ said Dr.T.Periyasamy, HOD, Cardio Thoracic Surgery, Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre who headed the transplant team.
