This Video Of A Complete Heart Transplant Is Beyond Fascinating

I feel it’s my duty to start with a warning, this video isn’t for the faint-hearted or the squeamish…though those of you that do choose to proceed are promised to be fascinated.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death around the globe, with 5,000 transplants performed each year. Recipients now have a 90% survival rate after one year and 74% after five years. This figure is continually growing as research involving replacement organs continues to progress.

You’re about to watch a heart get removed from somebodies chest, so again, expect it to be graphic but also totally amazing.

If you’re like me, as much as you’re astounded, you’re pretty shocked that kind of footage is publicly available now. Well, plastic surgery can now be viewed on Snapchat, so there’s no knowing what we’ll be able to see next.
