Abstract:
ObjectiveTo know the recent status of heart transplantation in Chinese multicenters.MethodsThe retrospectively data from 24 centers before 2010 (438 cases) and the data from China heart transplant Registry database between 2010 (149 cases from 15 centers)-2011(148 cases from 19 centers) were analyzed.Results In 2010,15 centers performed heart transplantation,including one large-scale center (60 transplants per year),3 moderate-scale centers (10 to 30 transplants per year),and 6 small-scale center (2-8 transplants per year).The rest 5 centers had one transplant per year each.In 2011,19 centers performed heart transplantation,including one large-scale center (52 transplants per year),3 moderate-scale centers (10 to 30 transplants per year),and 5 small-scale centers (2-8 transplants).The rest 8 centers had one transplant per year each.In 2010 and 2011,the median ages of heart transplant recipients were 44.6 and 42.9 years,respectively.Nonischemic cardiomyopathy was the leading indication for heart transplantation.The median donor age in 2010 and 2011was 30.2 and 30.8 years respectively.In 2010 and 2011,up to 99.3％ and 97.3％ of patients were treated with immune induction therapy,respectively.In 2010,the mortality at discharge was 10％,and that was 6％ in 2011.ConclusionAlthough total volume of heart transplants is still small in recent years,the discharge survival in China is similar to ISHLT report.
