Abstract
PGF is the major cause of early mortality after cardiac transplantation. Significant risks for PGF are long allograft ischemic time and increased donor age. Once the patient has survived 30 days, however, the longer-term survival is not influenced by PGF. Our management strategy of early mechanical support has yielded good outcomes in this population with a high risk of early death.
