Where would a course on mechanical circulatory support and the CTICU be without a section dedicated to the Orthotopic Heart Transplant. With over 4,000 transplants being done per year, the understanding of the process for a transplant from classifying the patient's heart failure, their workup, the procedure, post-transplant management and more is all critical to CTICU medicine. This section does exactly that. Introduces you to the patients who require a heart transplant and brings you through all aspects of their care including their workup, the operation, DCD and DBD hearts, anti rejection medications, and much, much more!
