Abstract:
This retrospective study reports the clinical results obtained in a series of 150 heart transplantations performed from October 1986 to January 1995. Overall actuarial survival rate, including operative mortality, was 71% and 57% at 1 and 5 years respectively. Despite a certain level of morbidity, the spectacular functional results in this series are emphasized.
