Outcomes After Ecmo Bridge to Heart Transplantation- Pre and Post-Heart Allocation Change

Purpose: Utilization of ECMO as a bridge to heart transplantation (HT) has increased since the revised heart allocation policy took effect in October 2018. While short term (6 and 12 months) post-HT survival has improved among ECMO-bridged patients in the current era, little is known about long-term (3-year) outcomes.
