Abstract
New allosensitization takes place in > 20% of patents supported with CF LVADs. Among patients who undergo transplant, this results in a higher risk of ACR and AMR, but survival remains favorable, likely due to the efficacy of current management after transplant. However, mortality in sensitized patients who do not reach transplant remains high, and new approaches are necessary to meet the needs of this group of patients.
