Emergency cardiac transplantation is controversial due to donor organ shortages. Poor outcomes (10-30% mortality) have led authors to abandon this practice, prioritizing stable patients without other organ failure.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Limited donor organ availability presents significant challenges in cardiac transplantation.
  • Emergency cardiac transplantation is a debated procedure with a high associated mortality rate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on emergency cardiac transplantation.
  • To propose a practical, albeit non-consensual, approach to managing patients requiring urgent heart transplants.
  • To evaluate the outcomes and justify the authors' decision regarding emergency transplant indications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing reports on emergency cardiac transplantation.
  • Analysis of reported extramortality rates associated with emergency transplant indications.

  • Clinical decision-making based on literature findings and organ availability.

    • Main Results:

    • Emergency cardiac transplantation is associated with an extramortality rate of 10% to 30%.
    • The poor outcomes and organ scarcity have led the authors to discontinue emergency transplantations.
    • Current practice focuses on transplanting only hemodynamically stable patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Emergency cardiac transplantation is not currently recommended due to high mortality and donor organ scarcity.
    • Transplantation should be reserved for patients in stable condition with isolated heart failure.
    • A shift towards prioritizing elective procedures in stable patients is advocated.
