The 27 year old man hailing from the Central Highlands province of Dak Nong underwent heart transplant surgegy from a donated heart of a 18 year old girl.
Head of the Department of Intensive Care and Cardiac Surgery Dr. Nguyen Thai An said that during the surgegy, pericardial effusion happened because the recipient’s heart chamber is large while the donor’s heart is small.

Yet, surgeons had treated this problem and the man was in good condition.
At present, the man can eat and walk like healthy people. Yesterday, he was discharged. Dr. Thai An warned him not to smoke or inhale smoke because it is not good for new transplanted heart.

Moreover, he should keep away from the flu/ ill people or people with breathing disease. Additionally, he should have boiled water and cooked food to keep fit. Two or three months later he can go out to work, said Dr. Thai An.
