Medical management of the transplant patient: long-term follow-up.
Of the 165 patients who have undergone cardiac transplantation at the Texas Heart Institute since 1982, 159 long-term survivors have been followed up for an average of 1 year. Here I report on post-transplant complications in both the short and long terms, giving figures and treatment protocols where applicable.
