Medical Therapy
- Immunosuppressive medical therapy is recommended in patients after undergoing cardiac transplantation.
- Pharmacologic medical therapies or Post-transplantation immunosuppressive therapy includes two stages-
- Induction- Intense therapy for the first 2-3 months to prevent acute graft rejection
- Maintenance- Throughout the life of the patient to combat both acute and chronic rejection. [1]
Even though regimens vary from center to center and case to case, most regimens consist of 2-3 drugs, usually including- [2] [3]
Induction Therapy
- IL-2 Receptor antagonists- Basiliximab [4]
- Anti-thymocyte antibodies- Associated with severe serum sickness like reaction [5]
Maintenance Therapy
- Calcineurin inhibitor- Tacrolimus or Cyclosporin; known to cause nephrotoxicity, hypertension, dyslipidemia. Gingival hyperplasia and hirsutism are associated with Cyclosporin alone.
- Anti-metabolite- Mycophenolate mofetil, Azathioprine
- Glucocorticoids- tapering dose
- Mammalian target of rapamycin [m-TOR] inhibitors and other strategies are aimed at minimizing the use of calcineurin inhibitors and corticosteroids.[6]
- Proliferation signal inhibitors (sirolimus and everolimus)- In the case of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) or renal insufficiency
- Monoclonal Antibody OKT3- Associated with an increase in the incidence of post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder[7]
