Abstract

End-stage heart disease can be a result of idiopathic cardiomyopathy, chronic ischemic damage or long-standing volume or pressure overload from valvular pathology. While cardiac transplantation may be the ultimate therapy for the fortunate patient who is eligible, conventional surgical interventions can be considered in highly selected cases. This chapter reviews the current evidence supporting the decision to provide high risk conventional surgery and summarizes the current indications and results of heart transplantation.
