Most (common) transplants have been considered 'successful' since 1990. Ciclosporin (the first good immunosuppressant) was approved for use in 1983. From then on, success rates all improved dramatically.

Can you stop a heart transplant?
Once surgery is underway, transplant surgery can be stopped totally before the diseased organ is removed. There have been a small number of surgeries when it was discovered that the new organ would not work in that patient. But, generally speaking, once a surgery has begun, it is completed.
What happens to the organs after someone has an organ transplant?
If you mean the recipient's original organ, on the consent form for the transplant operation there is a tick-box saying "I allow my original organ to be used for research purposes". Ticking this allows the original organ to go off to the lab for research and analysis. Unless there is any reason to keep it for further use after this has been done, it will be incinerated. Most people seem to tick this box. If the recipient does not want their original organ to be researched on, it just goes to be incinerated.

Mono is mainly transmitted by saliva so sharing a drink with an infected person has risks. Organ transplant patents get Mono also. If the organ came from someone that had been infected at one time then the virus is in the organ and the person receiving it can succumb to it.

Can kidney transplant patient drink green tea?
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE MAKING ANY HEALTH RELATED DECISION. I personally have been a green tea drinker all my life till I had a kidney transplant. My transplant doctor explained the following reasons why patients with an organ transplant should not drink Green Tea. 1. One reason why a transplant recepient takes transplant drugs is to suppress their immune (lower their white cell count) to prevent organ rejection. Green Tea raises one's immune system which may be good for a normal person but not a transplant recepient. 2. Also, the transplant drugs have chemicals that help the body to accept the new organ. Green Tea basically detoxify ( removes the potent of the transplant drugs) which may be good again for a normal person but dangerous for a transplant recepient. The Green Tea flushes the transplant drugs out of the system which suppose to always stay at a constant level (That is why taking your transplant meds at the right time is very crucial for the survival of the transplanted organ). To sum it up, if you are a transplant recepient don't drink GREEN TEA. However, ask your doctor because everyone has different circumstances. And remember to protect and cherish that life saving organ which had been given unselfishly out of love.
How do you decide who gets put at the top of a heart transplant list?
The decision on who gets put at the top of a heart transplant list is based on medical urgency and compatibility with the available organ. Factors such as severity of illness, likelihood of success with the transplant, and time on the waiting list are considered in prioritizing patients. A transplant team evaluates these factors to determine who is most in need of the transplant.
How many people have successfully had a second liver transplant?
It is not uncommon for individuals to undergo a second liver transplant if needed due to organ rejection or other issues. The success rate of a second liver transplant is generally lower compared to the first transplant due to factors such as a higher risk of complications and reduced overall health of the patient. Each case is unique and the outcome can vary depending on the individual circumstances.

If it is preserved adequately, they usually remain usable (i.e usable for transplant) for 8 hours once they have been removed from the body. However the time varies depending on what kind of transplant it is; hearts have a shorter usable time outside the body, corneas can be out for a couple of weeks.
