Application of donor predicted heart mass in heart transplant recipients with left ventricular assist device
Similar to prior studies on heart transplant recipients, recipients bridged with durable LVAD had worse outcomes when using severely undersized donor hearts. Oversized donor hearts did not significantly improve 1-year mortality, compared to size-matched references. These results were consistent in a subgroup analysis of patients bridged only with HM3 LVADs.
