Understanding ECMO & Heart/Lung Transplant
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a mechanical circulatory support system used in critical cardiac or respiratory failure. Heart and lung transplantation replaces severely damaged organs with healthy donor organs. Dr. Akshay Kumar provides these advanced procedures with internationally recognized expertise.

Frequently asked questions
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a mechanical circulatory support system that temporarily takes over heart and lung function in critically ill patients, allowing these organs to rest and recover.
Patients with end-stage heart or lung failure, severe organ dysfunction, or those who have not responded to other treatments may be considered for transplantation.
ECMO provides life-saving temporary support, stabilizes critical patients, and improves survival chances until the heart or lungs recover or a transplant becomes available.
Recovery includes an initial hospital stay of several weeks, followed by ongoing monitoring, immunosuppressive therapy, rehabilitation, and regular follow-ups to ensure long-term organ health.
Yes. When performed by experienced surgeons like Dr. Akshay Kumar, ECMO and heart/lung transplantation are safe and effective, with outcomes optimized by careful surgical planning and post-operative care.
