Abstract
An increasing number of patients receiving HTx under 1A listing are supported with CF-LVADs. DRCs are steadily increasing, with most of them from the B2 category. Post-HTx survival in DRC+ group is inferior, primarily for the B2 category. The benefits of CF-LVADs for patients awaiting HTx need to be weighed against the development of DRCs with subsequently inferior post-HTx survival.
