Abstract
The aim of this article is to take a look at the current medical literature on ways of preventing and treating possible post-surgical complications in heart transplants. The Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Virtual Health Library (VHL), Medline and LILACS were used as search engines. The terms "Heart Transplant", "Prevention", "Treatment" and "Complications" were chosen as the study keywords. It was concluded that the main acute manifestations are humoral and cellular responses, generally managed with immunosuppressive therapy. In the case of late manifestations, the therapy instituted varies according to the patient's degree of involvement. In terms of prevention, the first measure is the appropriate choice of donor.
