On the morning of October 2nd, at Hue Central Hospital, H.T.N. (45 years old, Thuy Xuan, Hue City) was officially discharged in stable health after nearly three weeks recovering from a remarkable cross-Vietnam heart transplant. This was the 20th successful heart transplant carried out at Hue Central Hospital, marking another important milestone in Vietnam’s field of cardiac surgery and organ transplantation.

On March 12, Hue Central Hospital announced that the 15th patient to receive a heart transplant across Vietnam has recovered. This was a complex transplant case, making the surgical procedure and post-operative care quite challenging for the doctors and medical staff.

The heart of a 24-year-old man traveled over 600 kilometers from Hanoi to Hue, bringing life to a peer suffering from severe heart failure. This is the 14th heart transplant performed at Hue Central Hospital and the 13th heart transplant across Vietnam by the hospital.

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.
