Early complications continue to compromise heart transplant outcomes; leaves open validation of reliable predictors in prospective studies.
This review highlights that while early mortality and morbidity after heart transplantation have decreased due to medical and surgical advances, several major early complications still require significant clinical attention.
Negargar et al. (2023) conducted a review in End-stage heart failure requiring heart transplantation. Heart transplantation was evaluated on Early postoperative complications. Advances in immunosuppression, donor selection, and surgical techniques have reduced early mortality and morbidity after heart transplantation, though major early complications remain a challenge.
