Cardiac Transplantation for Radiation-Induced Cardiomyopathy: The Mayo Clinic Experience
Original language description
Background. High-dose radiotherapy to the mediastinum for the treatment of malignancies causes injury to the intrathoracic organs. Coronary artery disease, valvular dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, and chronic constrictive pericarditis are common cardiovascular sequelae during long-term follow-up. Cardiac transplantation is indicated for the surgical treatment of heart failure due to radiation-induced end-stage cardiac disease. Methods. A retrospective study of radiation-induced cardiomyopathy requiring cardiac transplantation was undertaken from December 1992 to August 2010. Results. Twelve patients (7men, 5 women), with a mean age of 47.4 years, underwent orthotopic cardiac transplantation. Redo cardiac operations were performed in 9 patients. Lymphoma was the primary malignancy in all patients. Adjuvant chemotherapy was used in 9 patients, and splenectomy was performed in 7. Restrictive cardiomyopathy (n = 8) was the predominant diagnosis. Restrictive lung disease was present in 10 pati
