Joseph PY - 2008 DA - 2008/05/07 TI - Cardiac retransplantation is an efficacious therapy for primary cardiac allograft failure JO - Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery SP - 26 VL - 3 IS - 1 AB - Although orthotopic heart transplantation has been an effective treatment for end-stage heart failure, the incidence of allograft failure has increased, necessitating treatment options. Cardiac retransplantation remains the only viable long-term solution for end-stage cardiac allograft failure. Given the limited number of available donor hearts, the long term results of this treatment option need to be evaluated.
