Heart transplant graft failure causes significant morbidity and mortality. Late graft failure is primarily due to acute rejection and graft vessel disease, with the latter dominating systolic dysfunction.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Graft dysfunction and failure are critical complications following heart transplantation (HTx).
  • Both early and late postoperative periods are susceptible to graft failure.
  • Understanding the causes of graft failure is essential for improving long-term outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To review the primary causes of graft dysfunction and failure after heart transplantation.
  • To differentiate between early and late causes of graft loss.
  • To highlight the significant role of graft vessel disease in late systolic dysfunction.

Summary:

  • Early graft failure causes are briefly reviewed.
  • Late graft failure is predominantly caused by acute rejection and graft vessel disease.

  • Graft vessel disease emerges as the leading cause of systolic graft dysfunction years post-HTx, affecting 5% of rejection episodes.

    • Impact:

    • This review provides crucial insights into the long-term challenges of heart transplant recipients.
    • Identifying key failure mechanisms aids in developing targeted interventions.
    • Improved understanding can lead to enhanced patient survival and graft longevity.
