| Core Tip |
The optimal timing of same-admission orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) after the implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is unknown. The need for clinical stability and time to recover from surgery is counterbalanced by the risk of LVAD complications and formation of adhesions and scarring, particularly when OHT is considered early after LVAD implantation. We reviewed adult patients in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample who underwent same-admission OHT after LVAD between 1998 and 2011. Compared to early transplantation after LVAD, OHT after 8 d of LVAD implantation was associated with decreased mortality risk without increased post-transplant length of stay. |
