Conferencia de Consenso de los Grupos Españoles de Trasplante Cardiaco

The Spanish Society of Cardiology's working group on heart failure, heart transplantation and associated therapies organized a consensus conference on heart transplantation that was held in Seville, Spain in June 2005 and to which all Spanish heart transplant teams were invited. The aim was to evaluate, discuss and reach a consensus on the most important and controversial topics in different areas of heart transplantation today: organization, recipient selection, donors, rejection, immunosuppression, allograft vasculopathy, long-term complications, and pediatric heart transplantation. This report summarizes the working group's recommendations, and reports the level of evidence supporting each recommendation.
