Transplantation and Mechanical Circulatory Support in Adult Congenital Heart Disease-Related Advanced Heart Failure

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Heart Failure in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Part of the book series: Congenital Heart Disease in Adolescents and Adults ((CHDAA))

Abstract

  • Heart transplantation has become an increasingly common and effective therapy for adults with end-stage congenital heart disease (ACHD) because of advances in patient selection and surgical technique. Indications for transplantation in ACHD are similar to other forms of heart failure. Timing of referral, pretransplant assessment of ACHD patients, wait-list outcomes and opportunities for decreasing wait-list mortality as well as outcome, alternatives to transplantation, and peri- and postoperative management are discussed in this chapter.
