Although the pathophysiology of adult congenital heart disease-related heart failure (ACHD-HF) is highly heterogeneous, it is typically characterized by a prolonged pre-symptomatic phase. During this time, chronic compensatory mechanisms mask disease progression, making the severity of the condition difficult to recognize in a timely manner. This clinical challenge is compounded by fragmented care models, limited specialist resources, and persistent knowledge gaps. Consequently, patients are referred late for advanced therapies, contributing to the excess mortality, particularly in the context of transplant.</div><div>While it is recognized that excellent outcomes from transplant and mechanical circulatory support options are achievable in adult CHD patients, contemporary selection practices leave the population undertreated. To advance this cause, we convened a meeting at the 2025 International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation 45th Annual Meeting & Scientific Sessions in Boston, Massachusetts. The meeting brought together more than 35 participants, including adult and pediatric cardiologists, surgeons, advanced practice providers, researchers, and trainees from North America, Europe and Australia.

However, the impact of center experience on donation after circulatory death (DCD) heart transplantation outcomes remains unclear.

Recipients were stratified by cumulative DCD center experience into low (≤10), intermediate (11-24), and high (≥25) transplant volume centers. The primary outcome was 1-year post-transplant survival.

Low cumulative DCD volume was associated with lower 1-year DCD post-transplant survival compared to high-volume centers when controlling for confounders (89.0% vs 92.9%, p = 0.025), independent of donation after brain death (DBD) center volume and center-level DBD post-transplant survival.
