[National Registry of Heart Transplantation. 6th Report (1984-1994)].

As in previous years, the results of the Spanish Registry for Heart Transplantation are presented by the Section of Heart Transplantation of the Spanish Society of Cardiology. There are 12 participating Hospitals with Heart Transplantation Program. The activity of the different centres depends on the geographic situation and the years of activity. In 1994, 292 procedures were performed, all orthotopics, which represents a 2% increase from 1993. The early mortality was 12%. The actuarial survival is 53% at 8 years, similar to the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT). The survival depends on donor age, receptor age, receptor sex, ischemic time, etiology of cardiac dysfunction and period of time of intervention.
