Population and Study Design
There were 86 records of patients who underwent human-to-human
orthotopic HTx at INCOR’s database from January 2010 to December 2019.
We excluded three patients, two of whom were transplanted in other
centers, and one medical record was unavailable at the study time.
Therefore, we present 83 cases. There was no heart retransplantation,
and none of the recipients had to undergo major cardiac surgery after
the HTx. The profile of the recipients and their survival were analyzed
according to sex and age group. The confidentiality of the data was
ensured.
