Fraser Wilson and Louise Campbell both received heart transplants at the Golden Jubilee University National Hospital.
Two Scottish cousins who both received heart transplants at the same age in their mid-40s have spoken of the new lease of life their procedures have given them.
He was further diagnosed with heart failure five years ago and had a defibrillator fitted but his health deteriorated last January. “But going through this process I obviously have a much better appreciation of all organ donation now. She said: “We as a family spoke a lot about organ donation. One of my mum’s cousins donated his organs after he passed away and that brought them, as a family, comfort.
At the same time, the team at NHS Golden Jubilee’s Scottish National Advanced Heart Failure Service is celebrating completing 500 transplants over the past 30 years, with a record 40 procedures successfully carried out in the past 12 months.
