Abstract

Introduction: We compared the effectiveness of preemptive antiviral therapy for prevention of CMV disease using hyperimmune IVIG (Cytogam®; Medimmune) versus intravenous ganciclovir (Cytovene®; Roche Pharmaceuticals) in CMV-positive heart transplant recipients. In a prospective randomized trial, we analyzed data from 18 adult patients who underwent primary heart transplantation from 1997 to 2000.
