Gleneagles Hospitals has provided a new lease on life with cutting-edge heart and lung transplants for end-stage diseases. We perform superior heart and lung transplantation for unsalvageable cardiac and pulmonary failure.

Our patients benefit from the combined effort and personalised medical attention from our multidisciplinary team of transplant surgeons, pulmonologists, cardiologists, anaesthetists, and support staff. Our unique infrastructure, tailored to the demands of complex transplant surgeries, includes emergency rooms, trauma care, and intensive care units. We are your trusted partners throughout the transplant journey.

Conditions Treated

We treat a wide range of end-stage heart and lung conditions with transplants for effective management of symptoms.

  • Congenital Heart Disease: Complex congenital heart disease with Elsenmenger syndrome is a common cause of heart transplants.
  • Pulmonary Hypertension: A lung transplant effectively remedies increased blood pressure in the lungs' arteries.
  • Pulmonary Fibrosis: It refers to scarring of the lungs that leads to severe decline in health.
  • Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: These lung diseases can make breathing difficult for individuals. Our sophisticated lung transplant program is a ray of hope in this condition.
  • Right Ventricular Failure: This disease severely damages the right ventricle of the heart, and transplantation is required to restore patients to normalcy.
  • Refractory Left Ventricular Failure: It is challenging to treat, and often, a heart transplant is the only practical way.
