“…6,7,19,[22][23][24] Although the incidence of pacing appears to be lower with the bicaval technique, this advantage was not evident in our study as the donor age increased. The average donor age was 28.5 years in the recipients requiring a pacemaker compared with 25.4 years among patients who did not (P<0.05).…”

“…1a). The advantage of this procedure is its relative technical ease and, therefore, reduced ischaemic time; however, it often results in sinoatrial nodal damage, and the presence of redundant atrial tissue increases the risk of atrial arrhythmias [3]. More recently, the bicaval technique has been employed, in which the recipients' right atrium is completely resected, aside from cuffs at the inferior (IVC) and superior vena cavae (SVC), to which the donor's IVC and SVC are anastomosed (Fig.…”

The Value of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Heart Transplant Patients

et al. 2015

Heart transplant patients present a unique set of anatomical and pathophysiological considerations. Patients often present non-specifically, requiring a low index for further investigation. Accurate assessment with standard imaging modalities can be difficult, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is becoming an increasingly useful modality in the assessment of heart transplant patients. This review describes the anatomy of the transplanted heart and typical CMR appearances and discusses the role of CMR in heart transplant disease.

“…Интересным является тот факт, что распространенность фибрилляции предсердий после ортотопической транспланта-ции сердца (ОТС) по бикавальной методике ниже, чем при использовании биатриальной методики: 9,7% и 37,1% соответственно [5]. Вероятными при-чинами данных различий могут быть меньшая частота трикуспидальной регургитации и более полное сохранение архитектуры предсердий при бикавальной технике [6]. Частота возникновения послеоперационной фибрилляции предсердий после трансплантации ниже по сравнению с дру-гими кардиохирургическими вмешательствами.…”
