• In what situations is a heart transplant advised?

My niece is 10 years old and was born with a hold in the heart. The hole is an odd spot which according to the doctors is difficult to rectify. Do you think a heart transplant may be an option for her somewhere down the line or how is this handled?

Heart transplants are only given to patients with heart failure.
