Post-transplantation outcomes of sensitized patients receiving durable mechanical circulatory support

Sensitization, defined as the presence of circulating antibodies, presents challenges, particularly in patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTx) bridged with durable mechanical circulatory support (MCS). We aimed to investigate the post-transplantation outcomes of sensitized MCS patients.Among 889 consecutively enrolled heart transplant (HTx) recipients between 2010 and 2018, 86 (9.7%) sensitized MCS patients (Group A) were compared with...
