This is a video
of heart transplant. This procedure isn’t too uncommon, but it’s a very risky
one.
First the doctor has to cut in to
get to the heart. He cuts through the skin, tissue, and fat, and finally gets
to the chest cavity. The beating heart is openly visibly in the chest cavity.
When it’s time to remove the heart,
the doctor has to be careful not to cut anything he shouldn’t. When he cuts the
tissue that connects the heart ventricles to the body, he has to make sure they
stay in tact so that the new heart ventricles can be connected.
The new heart is placed in the chest
cavity. The doctor has to carefully reconnect all the ventricles of the new
heart to where they connected to the body on the old heart. He has to make sure
he doesn’t suture the arteries shut in the process.
