TL;DR: This study investigates trends in mechanical support use after implementation of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network’s new heart transplant allocation rules.

TL;DR: Patients with congenital heart disease undergoing heart transplantation by adult cardiac surgeons in a large academic medical centre are characterised to describe successful outcomes associated with the multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and treatment of adults with congenITAL heart disease (ACHD) undergoing orthotopic heart transplants (OHT).

TL;DR: Episodes of ACR and CAV, but not AMR, appeared to be more frequently associated with graft dysfunction in patients with circulating DSA, and patients with DSA to class I, II or both were seen to be at risk for CAV.

TL;DR: Compared with the general HTR population, patients with graft dysfunction and DSA or positive C4d on EMB show a statistically significant increased incidence of CAV and allograft failure, suggesting an antibody-mediated injury.

TL;DR: Although clinicians do not rate the majority of UR after lung transplant as preventable, discharge frailty is associated with UR, and further research should identify whether modification of discharged frailty can reduce UR.
