Historically, transplantation of a female donor heart to male recipient has been viewed with
caution given evidence of suboptimal outcomes, particularly in special populations such as …

Heart transplantation (HT) is the mainstream therapy for end-stage heart disease. However,
the cardiac graft function can be affected by several factors. It is important to monitor HT …

Primary graft dysfunction is a feared complication and cause of mortality post–heart
transplant. Primary graft dysfunction may require mechanical circulatory support, such as …

Background Short stature is associated with mortality after cardiac surgery and may increase
size mismatch risk among transplant recipients. Yet, stature's impact on heart transplant …

Background: Heart transplantation volumes have increased in recent years, yet less than a
third of donors are typically accepted for transplantation. Whether donor sex, donor drug …

Background Donor/recipient size matching is paramount in heart transplantation. Body

(TPG) and donor right ventricular mass (RVM) on outcomes following heart transplantation …

Background Numerous studies have analyzed the consequences of donor-recipient organ
size mismatch within both heart and lung transplantation. However, there is very little data …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Predicted heart mass ratio (PHMr) has become the standard
donor-recipient size matching method in heart transplantation. While utilization of small …
