title: Current problems in cardiac transplantation.
abstract: In conclusion, after almost 20 years of clinical application and due to much progress during that time by the pioneers of the method, cardiac transplantation is now a safe and reliable treatment for patients in intractable cardiac failure untreatable by other medical or surgical means. Several challenging problems remain to be resolved by the many active and excellent centers now engaged in this promising field.
