The trajectory of renal function following mechanical circulatory support and subsequent heart transplantation
ConclusionsIn patients with advanced heart failure, measured GFR improved after MCS with no difference between pulsatile and CF-pumps. The total study group showed no further increase in GFR following HTx, but in certain subgroups, including patients aged 35 –54 years and those treated during the latest era (2012–2018), renal function appeared to improve after transplant.
