Abstract
Purpose of review: Heart transplantation referrals in congenital heart disease patients are increasing as this population grows in number, complexity, and disease severity.
Recent findings: We examine short-term and long-term outcomes data with special attention to single-ventricle patients and multiorgan transplantation, including recent advances in combined heart and liver transplantation.
Summary: Given the limited supply of available organs for transplantation, it is necessary to examine heart transplantation outcomes in congenital heart disease patients to better optimize outcomes and ensure equity with noncongenital heart disease patients.
