ABSTRACT
When the criterion of brain-death was introduced in Denmark on 1.7.1990, the possibility for heart transplantation and other interventions was opened. The first heart transplantation was carried out 3.10.1990 and, during the first year, 28 transplantations were carried out on 27 patients. The therapeutic routines in the department are reviewed and the results obtained after the first year are presented. A total of 33 donors who fulfilled the donor criteria were available. Of these, 28 came to Rigshospitalet, two were sent abroad and suitable recipients could not be found for two. The recipient group consisted of four women and 23 men with an average of 46 years. At the time of writing, on an average 169 days after operation (13-330), 23 out of 27 patients survived in good health and with normal cardiac function. Three patients are still in hospital.
