Abstract:
Since the first pediatric orthotopic heart transplant was performed by Dr Adrian Krantowicz in 1967, just days after the first ever human transplant by Dr Christiaan Barnard, the technique for orthotopic heart transplantation has evolved from biatrial anastomosis to separate caval anastomoses, leaving the right atrium intact. In this video tutorial, we present our technique for standard orthotopic heart transplantation in children.
