ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Heart transplantation in elderly patients has raised concerns because of co-morbidities and limited life expectancy in the era of donor shortage. We examined the outcomes after heart transplantation in elderly patients. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
From March 1994 to December 2011, 81 patients (malefemale=6417, 49.1+/-14.0 years) underwent heart transplantation. The outcomes after heart transplantation in the younger patients ( or =60 years; group O, n=21). The follow-up duration was 51.8+/-62.7 months.RESULTS:
Early mortality (0.999). There were no differences in overall survival between the two groups (p=0.201). Freedom from rejection was higher in group O than in group Y (p=0.026). Multivariable analysis revealed that age > or =60 years was not a significant risk factor for long-term survival; postoperative renal failure was the only significant risk factor for long-term survival (p=0.011).CONCLUSION:
Early and mid-term results of heart transplantation in elderly patients were similar to those in younger patients.
