Does an alternative technique for orthotopic cardiac transplantation preserving the right atrium prevent postoperative arrhythmias and tricuspid insufficiency in patients undergoing heart transplant?
A novel orthotopic cardiac transplantation technique preserving the right atrium was successfully performed in two cases without postoperative arrhythmias or tricuspid insufficiency.
Sievers et al. (1991) conducted a case report in Orthotopic cardiac transplantation (n=2). Alternative technique for orthotopic cardiac transplantation was evaluated on Postoperative arrhythmias and tricuspid insufficiency. An alternative technique for orthotopic cardiac transplantation preserving the right atrium was performed in two cases, with no postoperative arrhythmias or tricuspid insufficiency observed.
