Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Heart transplantation has evolved as the only treatment option for patients with refractory heart failure.
CASE PRESENTATION: We here, report two unusual complications that developed following cardiac transplant to which the recipients succumbed. Post mortem conducted revealed the cause of death as severe antibody mediated rejection in one case and ruptured mycotic aneurysm of ascending aorta in the second recipient.
CONCLUSION: Hence, autopsy remains the key procedure that can help establish the cause of death after cardiac transplant. It is also imperative for clinicians to have awareness and high index of suspicion for early detection of the ongoing complications and intervene either surgically or medically to prevent catastrophic events.
