AB  - From  its  inception  in  the  early  1980s,  heart  transplantation  had  seen  a  steady  rise  in  the  numbers  of  operations  performed.  However,  about  15  years  ago,  the  procedure  reached  a  worldwide  plateau  of  approximately  400  pediatric  transplants  being  performed  each  year.  This  has  recently  increased  to  a  record  high  of  577  pediatric  transplants  in  2013  reported  to  the  International  Society  for  Heart  and  Lung  Transplantation  (ISHLT)  International  Registry  of  Heart  and  Lung  Transplantation,  which  composes  13%  of  all  heart  transplants  performed.  Limited  availability  of  infant  and  pediatric  organ  donors  remains  the  limitation  on  transplants  performed.
