Our teams have excellent experiences in transplantation of heart, liver and kidney (including living donor), cornea and bone marrow. In the heart transplantation, the hospital developed a “Skirt-type apical catheter implantation technique”. This techniqie allows the tube to be attached firmly with no serious complications and infection, thus prolonging patient’s waiting period from 30 days to 191 days, whereby the transplantation can be completed smoothly. In addition to extending the patient’s waiting time for the heart, it also enhances the quality of life. The hospital used ventricular assist device for 12 heart transplants, 7 patients stayed in regular ward while waiting for the heart and rehabilitation.
Corneal transplantation has advanced from full thickness corneal replacement to only transplanting the diseased layers, thereby significantly improving graft survival and visual outcome. Corneal scars in the more superficial or anterior layers of the cornea can be replaced by anterior lamellar keratoplasty ( deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, DALK). The posterior layer of the cornea with insufficient endothelial cells can be replaced by endothelial transplantations (descemet’s membrane automated keratoplasty, DSAEK).
