Cardiac Surgery Outcomes in Abdominal Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Conclusions Previous history of abdominal transplant is associated with an increased 30-day incidence of stroke after cardiac surgery. Abdominal transplant does not affect 30-day mortality after cardiac surgery, whereas long-term survival is significantly reduced. Regular patient follow-up and prevention and early treatment of postoperative complications are key to patient survival.

Outcomes on Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices: A Single Institutional 9-Year Experience
Conclusions These data indicate excellent survival for BTT and DT patients on long-term LVAD support. However, for LVAD therapy to become a plausible alternative to heart transplantation, we need to further decrease the incidence of postoperative complications.
