Abstract
Among 81 patients who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation between July 1986 and December 1990, we found rupture of the donor ascending aorta in three patients, all with severe ventricular dysfunction secondary to aortic valvular disease. The mechanism for this may be compliance mismatch between the recipient ascending aorta and the donor ascending aorta. This situation is a unique complication in heart transplantation for the recipients who have severe athero-sclerotic changes in the systemic aortic wall, especially for those with valvular diseases caused by calcification.
