Summary: Transplantation of the heart has become an accepted method for the treatment of termin al cardi-
ac failure. Despite obvious advances in the care of patients after trasplantation a number of
problems exist. The authors summarize their experience with the long-term follow-up of 100 adult
patients with transplantations made in the Brno Centre of Cardiovascular and Transplantation
Surgery. One-year survival in the group of patients is 80 %, three-year survival 69 %. The authors
discuss indications and contraindications of cardiac transplantations , necessary preoperative
and postoperative examinations, they follow-up the most serious complications during the po-
sttransplantation period. They mention therapeutic possibilities and outline briefly the perspecti-
ves of care of patients after cardiac transplantation.
Despite the number of problems encountered transplantation of the heart is for indicated pati-
ents with cardiac failure a unique chance to improve the prognosis of survival and the quality of
life.
