Recent Era Outcomes of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Children With Congenital Heart Disease as a Bridge to Heart Transplantation

The objective of the study is to compare the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and overall survival (waitlist and posttransplant) outcomes in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) bridged to transplantation with either a ventricular assist device (VAD) versus extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) versus no mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in the recent era. The study included 2,899 primary heart transplantations in patients
