Abstract: Heterotopic heart transplantation (HHT) is an alternative to the orthotopic technique in selected patients with terminal heart failure. We report the case of the longest survival after HHT, with an uneventful follow‐up for over three… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction In heterotopic heart transplantation (HHTx), the donor heart is connected to the recipient heart in a parallel fashion, acting as a biological biventricular assist device. This technique has been developed before the cyclosporine era… read more here.

Abstract: Nowadays, most cardiologists are familiar with orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) for end-stage heart failure. Nevertheless, in the pre anti-rejection-therapy era (early seventies of the previous century), surgeons rather connected the transplant organ to the native… read more here.

Abstract: Background Unloading of failing hearts by left ventricular assist devices induces an extensive cardiac remodeling which may lead to a reversal of the initial phenotype–or to its deterioration. The mechanisms underlying these processes are unclear.… read more here.
