Impact of Heart Transplant Allocation Change on Waitlist Mortality and Posttransplant Mortality in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Among patients with LVAD, lower waitlist mortality postallocation change was likely driven by improved LVAD technology. Higher posttransplant mortality following the allocation change was largely attributable to longer ischemic times and patient acuity.
