Patients supported with a VAD are at increased risk for sensitization. We aimed to determine factors sensitization as well the impact of on post-transplant outcomes. The UNOS database (January 2004-June 2014) was used identify patients (≤18 yrs) durable VAD. Rates and degree in cohort were calculated. Post-transplant survival determined comparing outcomes sensitized vs. non-sensitized patients. There 3097 included study; 19% (n = 579) bridged Of these, 41.8% 29.9% who not (p < 0.001). an...
Abstract We present the unique case of a pediatric patient who received chemotherapy for diagnosis CD, while mechanically supported with Berlin EXCOR LVAD secondary to restrictive cardiomyopathy. A four‐yr‐old previously healthy male cardiomyopathy required MCS after cardiac arrest but was diagnosed multicentric non‐malignant lymphoproliferative disorder fueled by excessive IL ‐6 production. Treatment blockade (tocilizumab) every two wk and methylprednisolone had no effect on his lymph nodes...
A 44-year-old female with a diagnosis of mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome had progressive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on echocardiogram. Holter monitor demonstrated non-sustained atrial tachycardia, finding not been previously described in this population. This unique case MELAS demonstrates the known associated cardiac manifestation LVH new tachycardia which may represent potential for subclinical arrhythmia
