Therapeutic plasma exchange is associated with increased survival in heart transplant recipients experiencing severe primary graft dysfunction
Background
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains the leading cause of 30-day mortality post-heart transplantation (HTx). HTx recipients experiencing severe PGD have been found to have high levels of circulating proteins associated with PGD occurrence and post-HTx survival. Whether treating these patients with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) can attenuate ongoing immunological and inflammatory processes and improve post-transplant outcomes has not been well-investigated. Therefore, we aim to examine the impact of treatment with TPE on 30-day and 1-year clinical outcomes of patients experiencing severe PGD post-HTx.
Methods
Between 2010 and 2022, we included 42 HTx patients who developed severe PGD. All included patients were placed on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. We divided these patients into those who received TPE and those who did not (by physician choice). Endpoints included 30-day and 1-year survival, as well as 1-year-freedom from Any-treated rejection (ATR), acute cellular rejection (ACR), antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), biopsy negative rejection (BNR), cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), non-fatal major adverse cardiac events (NF-MACE), and freedom from left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) at 1-year post-HTx.
Results
Compared to patients who did not receive TPE, those managed with TPE had increased survival rates at 30 days (78.1% vs. 40%, p = 0.007) and at 1-year post-HTx (56.25% vs. 30% p = 0.035). However, no statistically significant differences were recorded in other outcomes of interest, including 1-year freedom from CAV, ATR, ACR, AMR, BNR, NF-MACE, or LVD.
Conclusion
TPE may serve as a promising therapeutic approach in HTx recipients experiencing severe PGD.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, the official publication of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, brings readers essential scholarly and timely information in the field of cardio-pulmonary transplantation, mechanical and biological support of the failing heart, advanced lung disease (including pulmonary vascular disease) and cell replacement therapy. Importantly, the journal also serves as a medium of communication of pre-clinical sciences in all these rapidly expanding areas.
