Heart transplant is now the treatment of choice for patients with advanced heart failure who are refractory to medical treatment. With a small number of candidates who meet the traditional criteria of a heart donor, we aimed to alleviate this shortage. In this article, we report a 43-year-old woman with a highly urgent heart requirement, according to acute decompensated heart failure, who received a heart with coronary artery grafts from a 50-year-old woman with the diagnosis of 3-vessel disease. Our review of her 1-year follow-up demonstrated the absence of any cardiac or other problems and survival of the patient. There have been no reports in the relevant literature of transplanting marginal hearts from donors who have previously undergone coronary artery bypass graft before transplant. According to our findings, transplant of a marginal heart with coronary artery grafts can be successful; additional studies with larger samples are warranted to further investigate the results of transplanting marginal hearts from donors who have previously undergone coronary artery bypass graft procedures. |
