Abstract
- In this article, the author discusses the transplant heart failures. The authors states several reasons for graft failure including long ischaemic times, inadequate myocardial preservation and poor adaptation of the graft to the recipients' haemodynamic environment. The author informs that the measure that aims at reducing the transplant failure includes the use of inhaled nitric oxide and introduction of mechanical circulatory support (MCS).
