The authors present an excellent large cohort review and complete analysis of long‐term heart transplant survival including multiple institutions. Most studies on long‐term heart transplant survival have single‐center institutional experience. The authors present a comprehensive national review of the United Network for Organ Sharing Database (UNOS). The paper reflects the early transplant era through 1998 and demonstrates the long‐term survival of this time.
