The physiology of the transplanted heart as well as preoperative and perioperative critical care all play important roles in the successful transplantation of critically ill children with limited other options. The overall transplant survival at 1 year has improved to more than 90%, with an expected 5-year survival exceeding 80%. The time at which 50% of recipients remain alive is 13.3 years for teenagers and 22.3 years for infants. Individuals may have a good quality of life following heart transplantation but are likely destined for a repeat transplant. This chapter reviews critical care management of the pediatric patient undergoing heart transplantation..
