Indications= MC are DCM, IHD Success depends on = selection of patients, better Rx

( cyclosporine A), ∆ of early graft rejection ( by Endomyocardial Biopsy)

Complications Rejection = can be controlled Silent MI due to intimal proliferation & coronary obstruction

Prognosis = graft survival 1 yr = 75% 5 yr. = 60%
