Reply to the Editor—Rhythmologic Challenges Following Heart Transplantation
Heterotopic heart transplantation (hHTx) was first performed in humans in 1974. It found its way into broader application in the late 1980s and early 1990s, especially for patients with elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. Laredo et al have recently described a case of successful catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia in a patient 26 years after hHTx. This article is of particular inte...
متن کاملPre-Transplant Therapy in Experimental Heart Transplantation
Heart transplantation is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage cardiac dysfunction. Currently one-year graft survival ranges between 77-88%, three-year survival between 77-79% and five-year survival between 67-73% (http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4588). Despite these encouraging results, primary graft failure accounts for about 23% of deaths in the first 90...
متن کاملRibonuclease (RNase) Prolongs Survival of Grafts in Experimental Heart Transplantation
BACKGROUND Cell damage, tissue and vascular injury are associated with the exposure and release of intracellular components such as RNA, which promote inflammatory reactions and thrombosis. Based on the counteracting anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective functions of ribonuclease A (RNase A) in this context, its role in an experimental model of heart transplantation in rats was studied. METH...
متن کاملAge-dependent chronic rejection after experimental heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND The progressive decline of allograft function is predominantly a consequence of chronic rejection, but the etiology of this process is not fully understood. To evaluate the influence of age we performed heart transplantation in an experimental model of chronic rejection using inbred rats of different age. METHODS Lewis rats served as donors and F344 rats were used as recipients. Yo...
متن کاملReply to the letter from Damman et al.: Heart transplantation in the Netherlands: a national achievement
We appreciate the response provided by colleagues Damman, Brügemann, De Boer, Erasmus and Van den Broek to the overview of heart transplantation at the UMCU [1] and accompanying editorial [2]. It is well taken that indeed the transplant programme at the UMCG in Groningen has developed into a strong and essential part of the total heart transplant programme in the Netherlands, and should be reco...
