The significance of HLA matching in cardiac transplantation.

N Ketheesan1, G K Tay, C S Witt, F T Christiansen, R R Taylor, R L Dawkins.   

Abstract

It is argued that HLA matching is not worthwhile in heart transplantation. However, transplanting HLA compatible hearts enhances graft survival and should significantly reduce infection and malignancies related to aggressive immunosuppression. It is our view that the problem is technical and we offer a potential solution.
