Abstract
Overall case-mix of ACHD recipients (1V vs 2V) has not changed over time. Initial 1V anatomy increases post-HTx death among ACHD recipients, whereas 2V patients have mortality rates similar to non-CHD recipients. National and international transplant registries should include specific CHD diagnoses because this factor plays such a large role in determining early outcomes.
