Cardiologist Fernando Bacal explained today in contact with the reporter that visits to the hospital after an organ transplant are common. “These are routine tests that are done. There are a series of tests that check how the heart is working, and see the rejection part. They are common at first. There are a large number of patients.”
According to the provider physician, 50% to 60% of patients end up returning to the health unit for adjustments and denial re-evaluation. “We have experience, even a doctoral dissertation that I supervised at InCor, that shows that in the first 90 days, about 50% to 60% of patients end up being readmitted for adjustments. . “So, it’s quite common in the development of a complex transplant like a heart transplant.”
Cardiologist Fernando Bacal is Director of the Transplantation Center at InCor (Heart Institute of FMUSP das Clínicas Hospital) and Coordinator of the Heart Failure and Transplantation Program at Israelita Albert Einstein Hospital. He is one of the doctors accompanying broadcaster Fausto Silva.
On the day he left hospital for the first time, he publicly thanked the professional broadcaster. “It was lovely to see your emotions when you came out. A bond of friendship and so much admiration. Eternal gratitude! Keep it up and congratulations on the beautiful work you are doing at Incor for SUS. Thank you to the nursing team. 35 days later for such dedication and love of the profession,” he wrote.
In the comments, Fernando Bacal expressed his hope that the broadcaster’s recovery would inspire thousands of patients on the waiting list (Unified Health System) waiting for an organ.
“It is an honor to be with you on this journey. I hope that dear Fausto’s recovery will inspire thousands of patients waiting for organ transplants in the country. Our mission gets stronger from now on,” the doctor said.
