Over the years, significant advances in patient selection, donor optimization and selection, and optimization of immunosuppression strategies have markedly improved outcomes. In this review, we highlight patient selection, donor management and procurement, heart transplantation procedure, and intraoperative and postoperative management of heart transplants.
