TL;DR

An analysis of recent international experience in Orthotopic Heart Transplantation from the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Centre (1996-2006), which is representative of the panhellenic experience in this field over the same period.

Abstract

Cardiology includes an article by Manginas et al, titled Orthotopic Heart Transplantation: Ten Years’ Clinical Experience. In it the authors present a decade’s experience from the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Centre (1996-2006), which at the same time is also representative of the panhellenic experience in this field over the same period. The results the authors describe are indeed excellent. I would like to use the occasion of this article’s publication to offer a brief analysis of recent international experience.
