Abstract

Orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) has become one of the most expensive and resource-consuming treatment options for patients with end-stage heart failure. It is therefore useful to review clinical data, such as treatment duration after surgery and midterm follow-up in this group of patients. Contemporary epidemiologic data on early and midterm OHT follow-ups including patient demographics, hospitalization rates and related post–OHT morbidity, and mortality are scarce in Poland. The aim of the study was to determine early survival, hospitalization rates related to OHT and related morbidity, and mortality in Poland in the recent decade.
