Worse Survival After Heart Transplantation in Children With Heterotaxy Syndrome

Patients with heterotaxy syndrome (HS) who undergo cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) have worse non-transplant surgical outcomes versus those without HS. Outcomes after heart transplant (HT) for HS have not been studied. We aimed to study waitlist and HT outcomes in CHD with and without HS.
