Main Results:

  • Operative and short-term survival in pediatric heart transplantation is comparable to adult programs.
  • Neonatal heart transplantation demonstrates encouraging results, potentially needing less immunosuppression.
  • Long-term challenges include immunosuppression side effects and time-related risks.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric heart transplantation provides a vital option for children with end-stage heart disease.
  • Neonatal transplantation is a promising area requiring further study.
  • Ongoing management must address immunosuppression effects and long-term complications.
