Abstract:
In this article, we analyzed 114 adult heart transplantation( HTx) cases from 1999 to 2021. Of these cases, 94% of patients underwent left ventricular assist device ( LVAD) implantation before HTx. The mean period of LVAD support was 3.0 ±1.2 years. Thirty-day mortality was 0.8% and the 10-year survival rate was 89% after HTx. Preoperative and postoperative renal function was the prognostic factors. Long LVAD support was not associated with the long-term survival after HTx.
