Summary
Background. End-stage heart failure can result from many cardiac and noncardiac entities that produce a poor prognosis. Medical and interventional modalities are widely used to treat this condition, although the ultimate therapy remains heart transplantation. Herein we present our clinical experience with 140 patients who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation.
