Abstract
Since the Heart Center in Bad Oeynhausen started its heart transplant program in 1989 a significant number of patients has survived more than 10 years. The transplant activities are embedded in a large cardiac surgery department. Nearly 100 000 operations (97 170), 79 265 with the use of extracorporeal circulation, have been performed up to now. 1 632 heart transplants (HTX), 1 369 implantations of mechanical assist devices (MCS) and total artificial hearts (TAH) demonstrate the busy activities of the dedicated heart failure and transplant unit.
