Abstract

An investigational orthotopic cardiac transplantation was performed to manage subendocardial fibroelastosis in a neonate. No unmanageable technical complications arose from the transplantation. Postoperative observation showed the infant developed normally except for moderate cerebral palsy. (Texas Heart Institute Journal 1990;17:122-5)
