The Instituto de Cardiología de Rio Grande do Sul has established itself as one of the country's leading centers for heart transplants, combining medical experience with cutting-edge technological tools. TAURA's participation in these procedures demonstrates how the integration between advanced technology and clinical practice can have a positive impact on the results and safety of patients.
A leap in transplants and quality of life
More than all heart transplants, the 2025 balance sheet included:
582 kidney transplants
129 liver transplants
35 lung transplants
1024 corneal transplants
282 bone marrow transplants
and other procedures in different tissues and organs.
This result places Rio Grande do Sul in a prominent position in the national ranking, occupying third place in kidney transplants and with solid performance in other categories of complex surgeries.
Adoption of technology as a differentiator
The use of technological solutions such as TAURA equipment forms part of a growing trend towards integration between innovation and health. Advanced equipment, combined with the work of highly qualified professionals, helps to reduce operational limitations, increase the efficiency of procedures and optimize patient recovery.
For Biotecno, seeing TAURA technology applied successfully in highly complex procedures, such as heart transplants, is a reason for pride and motivation to continue investing in development and alliances in the health sector.
Awareness and the next step
Experts emphasize that, despite improvements in figures, raising awareness about the importance of organ donation remains crucial to maintaining and expanding these results. Talking to your family and making your desire to be a donor clear are fundamental steps to transforming more lives.
