The state of combined thoracoabdominal triple-organ transplantation in the United States
The prevalence of TOTs has dramatically increased over the past decade. While overall survival between TOTs appears similar, adding a liver to a heart-lung transplant may be associated with a poorer prognosis compared to adding a kidney. A careful, multidisciplinary approach to patient selection and management remains paramount in optimizing outcomes for high-risk patients undergoing TOTs.
