Scot Pollard, a former NBA player and 'Survivor' contestant, recently underwent a life-saving heart transplant after his heart deteriorated due to a genetic condition inherited from his father. Pollard's health took a critical turn after contracting a virus in 2021, leading to the need for a heart transplant as the only viable option.
At 6-foot-11 and 260 pounds, finding a suitable heart for Pollard presented a challenge. He underwent pre-transplant testing in multiple locations and was eventually admitted to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he was prioritized for the transplant due to his deteriorating condition.
