ABSTRACT
Objective. Multi-organ transplants (MOT) have been increasing.
The most common are Heart-Kidney (HKT) and
Heart-Lung (HLT). We present our experience, morbidity
and mortality on HKTand HLT.
Material. This is a retrospective
review of all HKT and HLT between January 2015
and May 2022. Patient transplants were performed at a single
large referral center. Patient demographics, morbidity
and mortality were collected.
Results. Seventeen HLT and 8
HKT were performed. On the HLT, mean age was 37 ± 15.6
years. The most common indication for ECMO support was
acute cor pulmonale (73%,). The most common complications
on ECMO support were bacteremia 82%. Post-transplant
complications included vocal cord paralysis on 36%
.The mortality in the ECMO B-HLT group was 9% at thirty-
days and 18% at one year mortality . Follow-up was at 7
years. Long term mortality was 15 %, 30 % with at least one
acute episode of rejection, 15% had evidence of Bronchiolitis
Obliterans Syndrome (BOS). On the HKT, the mean age
was 51.2 ± 10.7. The most common diagnosis was Idiopathic
Cardiomyopathy (50%) and hypertensive nephropathy. All
HKT was performed in 2 stages, Mortality was 12% (n=1)
during the first year, and 12% later. Complications were
12% with severe primary graft dysfunction of the heart, 25%
developed coronary artery vasculopathy (CAV). The most
common complication was infection (62 %).
Conclusions.
Outcomes of HKT and HLT are highly favorable, preferred
treatment option for select patients. In appropriately selected
patients, can be undertaken with acceptable morbidity
and conditional survival.
