Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study, in de novo heart transplant patients, is to evaluate whether delayed introduction of everolimus reduces the occurrence of wound healing problems, pericardial and/or pleural effusion and early acute renal insufficiency, as compared with immediate introduction of everolimus, in the firs six months after heart transplantation.
