[Cardiac transplantation: present status and future]

Y Kawashima

    Nihon Rinsho. Japanese Journal of Clinical Medicine
    |May 1, 1993
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cardiac transplantation survival rates have significantly improved, with 80% one-year and 70% five-year survival in recent patients. Donor heart scarcity remains a challenge, driving research into artificial hearts and xenotransplantation.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Transplantation Medicine

    Context:

    • Over 20,000 cardiac transplantations performed worldwide since 1967.
    • Significant advancements in surgical outcomes and patient eligibility.
    • Expanding geographical reach of cardiac transplantation, including Asian countries.

    Purpose:

    • To review the progress and current status of cardiac transplantation globally.
    • To highlight the challenges and future directions in the field.

    Summary:

    • Recent actuarial survival rates show 80% at one year and 70% at five years post-surgery.
    • Transplantation is now feasible for a wider age range, from newborns to individuals over 70.
    • The primary obstacle is the shortage of donor hearts, prompting investigation into artificial hearts and xenotransplantation.

    Impact:

    • Improved long-term survival and quality of life for heart failure patients.
    • Driving innovation in alternative solutions like artificial hearts and xenotransplantation.
    • Addressing the critical need for donor organs in cardiac replacement therapy.
