Abstract
The patient was an eight-year-old female. She was diagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy. She was supported with bi-ventricular assist because of heart failure for 15 days. After 7 days, she was suffered from prerenal type ARF and support with continuous veno-veno hemodyalisis(CVVHD). And then heart transplantation was performed, heart donor's blood type was A. Immune suppressants were used after due consideration for renal toxicity. ARF was resolved on post operative $14^{th}$ day. She was discharged on post operative $52^{nd}$ day without any specific post operative complication. She has been followed up without any immune rejection reaction upto 14 months.
