Determinants of survival following heart transplantation in adults with congenital heart disease

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Adult patients surviving with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is growing. We examine the factors associated with heart transplant outcomes in this challenging population with complex anatomy requiring redo-sur.

Abstract 4146823: Trends and Outcomes in Heart Failure Admissions and Cardiogenic Shock Among Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

Circulation

Heart transplant rates were low but increased slightly in 2020 for patients without CHD, with DV and SV CHD patients showing fluctuating rates peaking in 2018 and 2019, then declining in 2020. Cardiogenic shock rates were highest among SV-CHD patients, with significant fluctuations, followed by DV-CHD patients.

External Validation of Proposed American Heart Association Algorithm for Cardiovascular Screening Before Kidney Transplantation

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundScreening for cardiovascular disease is currently recommended before kidney transplantation. Outcomes were degree of coronary heart disease, revascularization rate following screening, major adverse cardiovascular events, and all‐cause death. 10.8]; and HR, 2.1 [95% 3.9]) and all‐cause death (HR, 12.0 [95%

Association Between Remote Monitoring and Interstage Morbidity and Death in Patients With Single?Ventricle Heart Disease Across Socioeconomic Groups

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundDespite improvements in survival over time, the mortality rate for infants with single‐ventricle heart disease remains high. Hierarchical logistic regression, adjusted for potential confounding characteristics, was used to determine the association between SES and death or transplant listing during the interstage period.

Transcatheter Palliation With Pulmonary Artery Flow Restrictors in Neonates With Congenital Heart Disease: Feasibility, Outcomes, and Comparison With a Historical Hybrid Stage 1 Cohort

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Background:Neonates with complex congenital heart disease and pulmonary overcirculation have been historically treated surgically. However, subcohorts may benefit from less invasive procedures. kilograms [IQR, 2.1–3.3])

Waitlist Outcomes in Candidates With Rare Causes of Heart Failure After Implementation of the 2018 French Heart Allocation Scheme

Circulation: Heart Failure

BACKGROUND:In 2018, an algorithm-based allocation system for heart transplantation (HT) was implemented in France. The cumulative incidence of waitlist mortality estimated with competing risk analysis and incidence of transplantation were compared between diagnosis groups. 2.58];P=0.94; congenital heart disease, 1.82 [95% CI, 0.78–4.26];P=0.17).

Abstract 4113494: Gut Microbiota Modulation by Immunosuppression and Cardiac Cell Therapy in a Nonhuman Primate Ischemia/Reperfusion Model of Cardiac Regeneration

Circulation

End-stage ischemic heart disease necessitates heart transplantation, and emerging cell therapy presents a promising solution to address donor scarcity. Disruption of gut microbiota significantly influences various diseases and treatments, including transplantation.
