    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Transplant Surgery
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Cardiac transplantation has evolved from experimental procedures to a reliable clinical treatment over 17 years.
    • Progress in cardiovascular surgery and medicine has paralleled advancements in heart transplantation.
    • Key technical aspects of donor procurement and recipient surgery are detailed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the evolution and current status of cardiac transplantation.
    • To discuss the impact of immunosuppressive therapy, specifically cyclosporine, on transplant outcomes.
    • To highlight persistent challenges and future research directions in heart transplantation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of technical surgical procedures for donor procurement and recipient operation.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of the role and dosage adjustments of cyclosporine in immunosuppression.
  • Examination of common post-transplant complications, including infection and rejection.

    • Main Results:

    • Cardiac transplantation is now a reliable clinical application with survival rates exceeding 80% at one year.
    • Lower-dose cyclosporine regimens are being introduced to mitigate adverse side effects.
    • Over 80% of one-year survivors achieve full rehabilitation.

    Conclusions:

    • Cardiac transplantation has achieved significant clinical success.
    • Managing infection and rejection remains critical for post-transplant care.
    • Future research priorities include enhancing immune response control and broadening transplant applications.
