[Value of hemodynamic surveillance by radiocardiography in human heart transplants].
Eighteen cases of cardiac transplantation have been carried out for 16 recipients since October 1973, there being 8 survivors at present. The importance of screening in such a treatment is vital. It is a simple method, easy to control, can be carried out at the bedside, is reproducible, reliable, and completely harmless, and by allowing the haemodynamic function of the graft to be seen at all times, helps in the marching of the donor and the recipient, in following the function of the graft in the immediate post-operative period, and in discovering rejection crises, and evaluating the long-term fate of the transplant.
