Heart transported through the green corridor for transplant

A heart harvested from a 41-year-old woman, who died after suffering bleeding in the brain, was transported from Ghaziabad to Delhi in just 18 minutes through an over 23-km green corridor and immediately transplanted to a chronic cardiac patient, hospital authorities said on Friday. The woman's liver and two kidneys were also used in separate transplant procedures.

Details
Ghaziabad and Delhi Police collaboratively created the green corridor

A green corridor was created by the police of Ghaziabad and Delhi between Max Hospital, Vaishali, and Max Hospital, Saket for seamless transfer of the heart, the statement said. "The distance of 23.8 km was covered in just 18 minutes at around 2 am on December 25," a hospital spokesperson said, adding, various teams worked to harvest and transplant the retrieved organs.

The kidney was transplanted into a woman from Ghaziabad, suffering from chronic kidney disease. The liver was transplanted in a woman from Delhi, suffering from chronic liver disease with hepatocellular carcinoma. The hospital authorities said, "Both were transplanted at the Max Super Speciality Hospital, Vaishali." "The second kidney was sent to Artemis Hospital, Gurugram in just 45 minutes in an ambulance," they added.

Background
The woman was suffering from aneurysmal bleeding

The woman, a resident of Ghaziabad, was rushed to Max Super Speciality Hospital, Vaishali with the complaint of headache and giddiness on December 19, the hospital said in a statement. "She was suffering from an immediate aneurysmal bleed. Despite sustained efforts by the multidisciplinary team of doctors, her condition continued to deteriorate and she was declared brain dead on Thursday," it added.

What is an aneurysmal bleeding?

An aneurysmal bleed is the bleeding from the dilated blood vessels of the brain. This causes a blockage in the circulation of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, which increases pressure on the brain and damages tissues.
