Anne-Marie Amilhat, a 73-year-old woman from France, received a diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension in 1980 and underwent heart/lung transplant surgery in 1988. Recently, she joyously marked her 35th transplant anniversary surrounded by family and friends. The celebration was graced by the presence of Prof. Philippe Dartevelle, a thoracic surgeon at Marie Lannelongue Hospital, France, and Prof. Gérald Simonneau, a renowned expert in pulmonary hypertension from Kremlin Bicêtre Hospital in Paris. Anne-Marie’s journey, both before and after the transplant, was marked by challenges, but her incredible courage and resilience have allowed her to lead a healthy and fulfilling life.
