Summary:Orthotopic cardiac retransplantation is used to treat transplanted cardiac graft end-stage failure. We present the first case of successful elective cardiac retransplantation in Mexico. It was a 25-year old male with heart transplantation who developed graft-resistant chronic vasculopathy. He underwent elective retransplantation in September 2017; complications during postoperative evolution were treated with favorable response. He was discharged owing to improvement at four weeks postoperatively. It is concluded that in adequately selected cases and comprehensively assessed, cardiac retransplantation is an appropriate option to treat cardiac graft failure.
