Abstract
Delaying initial transplant listing increased the likelihood of death while waiting for a transplant and decreased the likelihood of transplantation. In aggregate, life expectancy was unchanged by delays in listing. This study suggests that delaying transplant listing with the expectation of providing additional life expectancy is not likely with current LVAD technology.
