Why were transplants between 1800 and 1950 unsuccessful?
because people on that time, they were not aware of transplant that much and then when in 1954 for the first kidney was transplant from one twins brother to another and they got the idea which if the body did not reject the organ. (E.g. perfect kidney for the perfect body, not old, not damaged) the transplant will successfully work for long time. So that why before 1954 the transplant were unsuccessful.further more, the other reason is, that there were no Immunosuppression ( kind of drugs, radiation which help the body to not reject the organ). So thats why transplants were unsuccessful.

How long can you live without a beating heart?
You can not survive without your heart!. It pumps the blood throughout the entire body!. During a surgery like a heart transplant, they connect the body to a machine that "mimicks" the same function as the heart while the actual transplant is occuring!. If a person's heart stops from a heart attack or something, the longer it takes to revive the person, the higher chance there is for brain damage and eventually death to occur!. Let's say a person is revived after 45 minutes of CPR!.!.!.chances are there will be little to no brain activity left because of the damage that occured while the heart was not beating!. That's why it's so important to act fast when a person is having a heart attack!
What is heart-lung transplantation?

Why are heart transplants carried out?
Heart transplants are carried out on those who have heart failure (which is when the function of the heart declines to the extent that death is otherwise inevitable). (It is worth noting that heart failure is different to a "cardiac arrest/heart attack", which are sudden in nature and normally due to a blockage in the blood vessels around the heart.). If a heart transplant is successful, it can give a patient another 10-20 years of life, which they would not otherwise have had. For a patient with heart failure, there is not a viable alternative to a transplant; some machines such as a Berlin heart or an ECMO machine can temporarily take over the function of the heart (and lungs), however these are short-term solutions (they are used to bridge the gap until a transplant becomes available). Both involve a high risk of blood clots (which can travel to the brain and lead to strokes) and infections. "Pace makers" can only correct an irregular heartbeat; they cannot be used to stimulate a heartbeat in a failing heart. Transplants also provide information about the human body which was previously unknown; the medical research generated from them is interesting.
