Heart transplantation has become a standard procedure in the treatment for irreversible heart failure. Criteria for both recipients and donors have been extended. One year survival now reaches 81%. In the immediate postoperative course patients are endangered by infection. In the long-term course coronary artery disease of the transplanted heart becomes the most serious problem. Alteration of liver and kidney function due to chronic medication as well as malignancies and hypertension also occur. In case of chronic transplant failure retransplantation may be indicated. Acute cardiac failure before transplantation nowerdays can be treated by mechanical circulatory assist devices.
