Abstract
Background
Over the last decade, the number of simultaneous heart-kidney transplants (SHKTs) has increased dramatically. There are few reports of renal allograft outcomes in these high acuity patients. The goal of the present study was to identify variables that were related to early adverse outcomes (EAOs), including delayed graft function (DGF), primary non-function (PNF), and renal allograft futility (RAF) after SHKTs.
Methods
We performed a single center retrospective review of all adults undergoing SHKTs from October 2011 to August 2021. Multivariable logistic regression models with backward elimination were used to test the relationships between recipient (pre-transplant dialysis, intra-aortic balloon pump, serum lactate, norepinephrine use, and re-do sternotomy) and operative (cold ischemia time [CIT]) variables and the likelihood of DGF, PNF, and RAF.
Results
Sixty-eight patients underwent SHKT during the study period. Overall, patient survival was 87%, 83%, and 80% at 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years, respectively. Twenty-four patients (35%) experienced DGF, whereas 4 patients (6%) had PNF, and 12 patients (18%) had RAF (Table 1). Pre-transplant dialysis, serum lactate, and CIT were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of DGF. Norepinephrine (NE) and CIT were associated with increased likelihood of RAF (Table 2).
Conclusions
Pre-transplant dialysis is related to an increased likelihood of EAO following SHKT, with CIT and NE contributing to increased likelihood of RAF. Given that SHKT recipients are at risk of remaining on dialysis following SHKT, strategies that allow for expedited kidney transplantation after heart transplantation may mitigate the hemodynamic and ischemic constraints of SHKT that contribute to early adverse outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
