Katie Mitchell, 53, is UK’s longest-surviving heart-lung transplant recipient, 38 years post-surgery.
Katie Mitchell, 53, of Sidcup, has become the UK’s longest-surviving heart and lung transplant recipient, marking 38 years since her 1987 surgery at Royal Papworth Hospital.
Diagnosed with rare Eisenmenger syndrome at age 11, she received the transplant at 15, defying early survival expectations.
She has since undergone two kidney transplants and leads an active life, crediting her donor and medical teams for giving her a "normal life."
Her story highlights the life-changing potential of organ donation and supports NHS Blood and Transplant’s call to increase donor registrations, as over 8,000 people remain on the UK transplant waiting list.
