Kochi: Shri. Denoy Thomas, a patient of dilated Cardio Myopathy who could not even walk, underwent heart transplant surgery on 20/09/2013 in Lisie Hospital Ernakulam. The successful transplant surgery, whereby the heart of Shri. Libu of Thrissur was transplanted into Dinoy Thomas’s body was performed by a team of surgeons headed by Dr. Jose Chacko Periappuram (The renowned cardiothoracic surgeon who performed the first successful heart transplant surgery in Kerala).
After the surgery Dinoy regained his health fully, started leading a normal life and from September 2015 onwards started working as a Driver in Toyota. He also drives cars such as Innova, Fortuner alone to distant places and undertook long journeys such as from Kannur to Trivandrum etc. After his normal duty hours at 6pm, he without wasting any time, drives autorikshaws up to 11pm in Kalamassery.
During Spice Cost Marathon, in order to encourage organ transplant he along with 200 other participants and Shri. Sachin Tendulkar participated in the 5km Fun run organized by Heart Care Foundation on 04/12/2022 and successfully completed the run. They wore T-Shirt on which was written “second life is possible through organ transplant”.
During the marathon when Shri. Sachin Tendulkar heard that Dinoy Thomas, who had undergone heart transplant surgery, was also participating in the 5km marathon, he expressed his desire to meet Dinoy and thus they got acquainted. Dinoy who wished at least to see Sachin at least from a distance and speak to him was surprised to receive the tweet “When mind follows the heart, beautiful things happen. Dinoy Thomas had a change of heart a few years back, literally with a heart transplant. Today he is on a fitness journey, guided by his Doctor & even ran 5 KM run. Meeting such people is very inspiring. My best wishes”
