The heart donated from Bach Mai Hospital has begun to beat its first rhythms in the body of a patient, marking a successful journey of life transfer. This is a record-breaking transplant, with the heart implantation taking just over 50 minutes at Hue Central Hospital.

The donated organ from a 65-year-old woman, who was relatively lightweight from Hai Duong; the time of cold ischemia during transport across Vietnam was minimized; and the need to dissect the entire heart and major blood vessels before transplantation... These challenges were overcome by the medical team at Hue Central Hospital (HCH), bringing life to a patient with end-stage heart failure.

On the evening 7/7, Hue Central Hospital informed that the 9th Trans-Vietnam heart transplant was successfully performed. After 1 hour and 19 minutes of surgery, at 11:39 pm on July 6, the donated heart was beating again in the recipient's chest.

On May 9, at Hue Central Hospital, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Phuong bestowed a certificate of merit of the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee to the team of the trans-Vietnam heart transplantation as the case had been successfully performed by the experts of the Hospital.

On January 6, Hue Central Hospital said that the condition of heart transplant patient Phan Duy Q. (23 years old, Phu Vang district, Thua Thien Hue province) is progressing positively, getting gradually stable as he can leave the hospital in a few days.
