Registry of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation: twenty-fourth official adult heart transplant report—2007

DO Taylor, LB Edwards, MM Boucek… - The Journal of heart …, 2007 - jhltonline.org
In this, the Twenty-fourth Official Report of the Registry of the International Society for Heart
and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT), we present information on 76,000 heart transplants
performed worldwide. As in last year's report, 1 we focus our principal analysis on recently
transplanted patients rather than the entire cohort of heart recipients in order to provide a
contemporary rather than historic analysis of the state of heart transplantation.
