Cardiac orthotopic transplantation

Cardiac transplantation is the ultimate therapeutic option in end-stage CHF. Orthotopic cardiac transplantation is the surgical technique of choice, whereas heterotopic cardiac transplantation is performed primarily when there is high resistance in the pulmonary circulation of the recipient (and a heart-lung transplantation is impossible), the donor heart is too small, or in selected cases with acute but potentially reversible heart failure. In orthotopic transplantation the donor heart is joined to the recipients atria, aorta, and pulmonary artery. In heterotopic transplantation, the donor heart is implanted into the right thoracic cavity and anastomosed with the recipient s heart in a complex maimer in such a way that the donor heart takes over most of left ventricular output, while the recipient s heart continues to ensure right ventricular output. [Pg.246]

Orthotopic cardiac transplantation is the best therapeutic option for patients with chronic irreversible New York Heart Association Class IV HF, with a 10-year survival of approximately 50% in well-selected patients. [Pg.109]

Absolute contraindications to orthotopic cardiac transplantation include the presence of an active infection (except in the case of an infected ventricular assist device, which is an indication for urgent transplantation) or the presence of other diseases (i.e., mahgnancy) that may limit survival and/or rehabihtation and severe, irreversible pulmonary hypertension. [Pg.1614]
