OBJECTIVES: Heart transplant is the best treatment for end-stage @entity712 . @entity1576 after heart transplant is a potentially serious complication. @entity358 , @entity120 , allograft failure or rejection, and structural @entity299 in the donor heart are among the causes of @entity519 after transplant. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence of @entity519 and @entity1576 in @entity1 with orthotopic heart transplant during the early postoperative period. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of 45 @entity1 who had received orthotopic heart transplant at our center. Clinical and demographic variables and laboratory data were noted. @entity26 saturation values from @entity1 in the first week and the first month after transplant were analyzed. We also documented the cause of @entity1576 and the type of treatment. RESULTS: Mean age was 35.3    15.3 years (range, 12-61 y), with males comprising 32 of 45 @entity1 (71.1%). Two @entity1 had mild @entity1030 and 1 had @entity565 . Twenty-five @entity1 (55.6%) had a history of smoking. @entity1576 was noted in 9 @entity1 (20%) during the first postoperative week. Regarding cause, 5 of these @entity1 (11.1%) had @entity1143 , 2 (4.4%) had @entity891 , 1 (2.2%) had @entity55 , and 1 (2.2%) had @entity810 . Therapies administered to @entity1 with @entity1576 were as follows: 5 @entity1 had @entity26 therapy with nasal canula/mask, 3 @entity1 had continuous positive airway pressure, and 1 @entity1 had mechanical ventilation. One month after transplant, 2 @entity1 (4.4%) had @entity1576 1 (2.2%) due to @entity1143 and 1 (2.2%) due to @entity891 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity1576 is a common complication in the first week after orthotopic heart transplant. Identification of the underlying cause is an important indicator for therapy. With appropriate care, @entity1576 can be treated successfully.
