| Abstract [eng] |
Heart transplantations at Vilnius University Heart Surgery Centre have been performed since 1987. During all this period, 268 patients were included into the recipients' list and 47 heart transplantations were performed. The current medical, electrophy-siological and surgical methods have obviously increased the survival of patients who are waiting for heart transplantation. However, heart transplantation is still the most effective method in the end-stage heart failure. In recent years, the new diagnostic methods (spiroergometry, NT-pro-BNP) implemented at Vilnius University Heart Surgery Center enable using current selection criteria in practice. In the article, according to a literature review, all the basic criteria of evaluating and selecting recipients for heart transplantation mentioned above are used at our Center. |
