On December 3rd, 1967, Christiaan Barnard transplanted for the first time a human heart. The patient died 18 days after the procedure due to a pneumonia that had been misinterpreted as a rejection with concomitant heart failure. Due to severe rejections many transplant programs were subsequently closed. After the discovery of cyclosporine, a substance that provided sustained immunosuppression, cardiac transplant programmes were restarted, in Switzerland at first in Zurich in 1985. After a remarkable growth up to 4438 heart transplants worldwide in 1994, the number of procedures declined thereafter, due to decreasing availability of organs and improved medical options. Today, biventricular pacers, left ventricular assist devices and stem cells play an increasing role. In Switzerland, heart transplants were first performed in Zurich, then in Lausanne and Geneva and much later in Bern and Basle. The increasing number of transplant programmes in Switzerland led decreasing procedures per centre and year. Whether this problem should be solved by an even distribution of organ transplantations in all five Swiss centres or by the creation of few comprehensive transplant centres in the country is in the theme of the ongoing political debate.
