    AbstractOn July 21, 1988, a successful heart transplant was carried out for the first time in Mexico; 34 years later, several hospitals in the country have performed this procedure. We present information and comments on the results obtained within this period at Mexican Social Security Institute La Raza National Medical Center "Dr. Gaudencio González Garza" General Hospital, where 234 transplants have been performed (one out of every three carried out throughout the country), with a short- and mid-term survival comparable to that reported in the rest of the world. This hospital is the only center that performs simultaneous heart-kidney transplantation and elective heart re-transplantation, with favorable results.Copyright: © 2023 Permanyer.
