Background. Primary graft failure (PGF) is the most common cause of short-term mortality after cardiac transplantation. The low prevalence PGF has limited efforts at identifying risk factors for its development. purpose this study was to evaluate associated with heart Methods. Deidentified data were obtained from United Network Organ Sharing. Analysis included transplant recipients more than or equal 18 years transplanted between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2007 (n=16,716). studied...

To determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) at time of transplant and posttransplant survival morbidity.The recent International Society for Heart Lung Transplantation listing criteria heart transplantation stated that candidates should achieve a BMI <30 kg/m-or percent ideal weight <140%-before cardiac transplantation. However, data to support these recommendations are limited often conflicting.United Network Organ Sharing provided de-identified patient-level data. Analysis...

Background— This study compares posttransplantation outcomes of survival and morbidity among recipients with without diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Results— The United Network Organ Sharing (UNOS) provided deidentified patient-level data. Primary analysis focused on 20 412 first-time heart transplant aged ≥18 years who underwent transplantation between January 1, 1995, December 31, 2005. To determine severity DM, DM were stratified by their aggregate number diabetes-related complications...

Given conflicting findings of previous studies, much remains to be understood regarding a volume-outcomes relationship (VOR) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The purpose this study was: 1) determine if, after the initial learning curve (LC), VOR for balloon-expandable (BE) TAVR persisted; and 2) if LCs VORs differed across different device generations. Data collected by TVT registry BE implants from November 2011 through January 2017 were included analysis (n = 61,949)....

Previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between increasing center volume and cardiac transplant outcomes. The purpose of this study was to confirm post-heart outcomes experience determine whether persists among low- high-risk heart recipient-donor pairs.The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) provided deidentified patient-level data. Analysis included 8029 recipients aged ≥18 years transplanted January 1, 2001 December 31, 2006 with follow-up available through February 3, 2009....
