It must have been hard to breathe with a heart that big. There's only so much room in the rib cage.
What they neglected to mention is that heart transplants are not maintainence free. The 10-15 years later the immune system figures it out in spite of the drugs, and you need a new one.
The tissue matching is not finished until after the surgery has started, and is used only for making a guess at the dosage.
The first year survival rate is about 83%.
