In this study 71 patients (61 male and 10 female) were included, who have been operated in our institute from 1987 to 2006. All of them were undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation. The age of patients was from 14 to 57 years (the mean age 34,5). Only patients who were discharged from the hospital were included in the study. For statistical analysis Kaplan-Mayer survival analysis, relative risks (RR) and ODDR, proportional hazard risks regression of Cox were used. Coronary arteries disease was identifi ed as risk factor for long-term survival prognosis. Types B1, B2 and C arteriopathy are very unfavorable for long-term survival prognosis.Percutaneus coronary intervention for type A improves long-term survival prognosis in comparison with types B and C.
