ABSTRACT

Objetivo - Descrever a experiência inicial do programa de transplante cardíaco em Recife (PE). Métodos - Seis pacientes, em estágio final de insuficiência cardíaca, foram submetidos a transplante cardíaco. Quatro eram do sexo masculino e dois do feminino, variando a idade de 15 a 61 (média 43,8) anos. Quatro tinham miocardiopatia isquêmica e dois cardiomiopatia dilatada. Utilizou-se a técnica convencional de transplante cardíaco ortotópico. Todos os pacientes receberam esquema tríplice de imunossupressão. Resultados - Houve uma morte no 28° dia de pós-operatório, em decorrência de rejeição aguda. Os cinco sobreviventes estão em classe funcional I num período médio de seguimento de 113 dias. Conclusão - A experiência inicial de um programa de transplante cardíaco em Recife (PE) sugere que bons resultados tardios podem ser esperados
