[National registry of heart transplantation. Seventh report (1984-1995)].
As in previous years, the results of the Spanish Registry for Heart Transplantation are presented by the Section of Heart Transplantation of the Spanish Society of Cardiology. There are 12 participating Hospitals with Heart Transplantation Programs. Two Hospitals have infant and adult programs; one hospital has only an infant programs. In 1995, 278 procedures were performed, all orthotopic, which represents a 12% decrease from 1994. This is important and should force a reevaluation of to raise again the policy of the National Transplantation Network (ONT). The early mortality was 12%. The actuarial survival rate is 58% at 8 years, similar to the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT). Survival depends on donor age, receptor age, receptor sex, ischemic time, extracorporeal circulation time, etiology of cardiac dysfunction and the period of time of the intervention.
