A potentially curative fetal intervention for hypoplastic left heart syndrome
2018, Medical HypothesesCitation Excerpt :However, due to limited availability of immunologically compatible, neonatal donor hearts, cardiac transplantation it is not routinely performed. Indeed, many infants die awaiting transplantation [16–20]. Moreover, even when a suitable donor heart is available, transplantation surgery in the neonate carries significant risk [21].
Cardiac retransplantation in children
2004, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Other individual centers have confirmed these poorer results with cardiac retransplantation in adults. Mullins and colleagues [6] from Papworth Hospital in Great Britain reported a 33% 1-year survival with 13 retransplants in 12 patients. The Utah transplant group had a 1-year survival rate of 74% in 20 retransplant patients compared with an 88% 1-year survival with primary transplantation [8].
