Early substitution of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) with mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors has been shown to improve kidney function and reduce intimal hyperplasia in heart transplant (HTx) recipients but data on long-term outcome of such a regime are still sparse.

For smaller pediatric patients on ventricular assist devices, the Berlin Heart EXCOR remains the main form of durable support. It requires a connection to the external IKUS, which has limited portability and battery life. The new EXCOR Active mobile driving unit has a battery life of up to 13 hours. We describe the first North American experience with the EXCOR Active in pediatric patients with a Berlin Heart device. A retrospective chart review was undertaken. Between October 2022 and March 2024, 7 patients were on a Berlin Heart and supported with the EXCOR Active.

Mashup Score: 15Waiting list and post-transplant outcome in Sweden after national centralization of heart transplant surgery - 4 month(s) ago
Previous studies have demonstrated an association between transplantation rate per center and postoperative mortality after heart transplantation. In 2011, Sweden centralized heart transplants and waiting lists, reducing the number of centers from 3 to 2. We aimed to assess the active waiting time and pre- and post-transplant mortality before and after centralization.

After the centralization of heart transplant surgery in Sweden 2011, post-#HTx mortality decreased due to improved early (3-months) post-operative results. In addition, although wait time increased, wait-list survival improved. @GrundeGjesdal đź”—: https://t.co/3tM0sQaejw

Mashup Score: 9Increased disparities in waitlist and post-heart transplantation outcomes according to socioeconomic status with the new heart transplant allocation system - 11 month(s) ago
The study objective was to assess disparities in outcomes in the waitlist and post-heart transplantation (HT) according to socioeconomic status (SES) in the old and new U.S. HT allocation systems.

Socioeconomic disparities in waitlist and post-transplant outcomes were observed in the new #HTx system. Low SES was associated with increased death/delisting and decreased post-transplant survival. @cathygillis @RenzoLoyaga đź”— https://t.co/Lj4bInXRrt https://t.co/POWqHTh7r7

Mashup Score: 1Three year post heart transplant outcomes of desensitized durable mechanical circulatory support patients - 1 year(s) ago
The risks and benefits of desensitization therapy (DST) in highly sensitized mechanical circulatory support (MCS) patients are not well known. We investigated 3 year post-transplant outcomes of desensitized durable MCS patients.

Desensitized #MCS patients showed comparable outcomes after #HTx, compared to non-desensitized patients, and higher RPA reduction after desensitization, compared to desensitized non-MCS patients. đź”—: https://t.co/6GGLDWakWm
