A nod to history
First cardiac transplant:• 12/3/1967: Christiaan Barnard - Cape TownFirst infant cardiac transplant
• 12/6/1967: Adrian Kantrowitz – Brooklyn‒ No immunosuppression
1984 Loma Linda – Baby Fae• Managed with CSA – died POD #20First successful Neonatal Transplant: November 15, 1985
• Leonard L. Bailey – Loma Linda, California• Still alive as of 11/17
So where have we come to?

Ventricular Assist Devices- Berlin Heart
Para-corporeal VAD
Pulsatile flow
‒ Adults think we’re nuts!
Complication profile is not great
‒ Neurologic concerns/strokes
But it’s what we got!

Intra-corporeal VAD
• Continuous flow
‒ Standard of care for adults
Big two are Heartware (HVAD) and Heartmate II
• Complication profile is dramatically better
But it’s gotta fit!
• Almost for sure >40kg
• Probably 20-40kg (been done down to ~15 kgs)
Discharge possible!

Future of OHT??
Just focusing on the single ventricles then:
Present of OHT!
Objectives
•
•
•
Discuss challenges of transplantation for failing Fontans
• Plastic bronchitis/ Protein losing enteropathy
• Early phase graft loss
The “Failed Fontan”
Uni-ventricular heart with “heart failure”‒ Different from “typical” adult heart failure Ventricular dysfunction (or NOT) AV valve regurg Arrhythmia Hepatic insufficiency Protein losing enteropathy (PLE) Plastic Bronchitis (PB)
• They just DON’T fit a box in UNet!
9/4/20188
Survival after OHT for Failed Fontan
What do they look like?
• Multiple prior operations
• Elevated Panel Reactive Antibody (PRA)
• Poor nutritional status
• Multi-organ system dysfunction typical
Typical point when we meet them!
OHT for Failed Fontan: Lurie Children’s
224 Transplants: 1988 – 2013 23 failed Fontan
• Mean age: 14.9 years (4.4 – 47 years)• Mean interval since Fontan 8.3 yearsMean # Prior operations = 3.7PLE (n = 15)Plastic Bronchitis (n = 2) s/p Fontan Conversion (n = 8)Ventilator (n = 8)
Ann Thorac Surg 2013; 96:1413-9 Ann Thorac Surg 2013; 96:1413-9
Results
5 early deaths (23%)
• No clear risk factors (likely due to n)
• Renal failure a concern
PLE resolved in all survivors
Plastic Bronchitis resolved in all survivors
Pulmonary AVMs resolved as well
9/4/20189
Protein Losing Enteropathy
Protein loss through from the GI tract
• In CHD dominantly reported in single ventricle pts after Fontan Etiology unclear
• ? increased hydrostatic pressure • Non-pulsatile flow?• Altered cardiac output
Seen despite “optimal” Fontan hemodynamics• With preserved and decreased function
Many potential treatments described• Historically significant mortality/morbidity
PHTS PLE Project
Compared transplantation after Fontan with vs without PLE• 96 patients with PLE vs 260 without• Patients with PLE were:
‒ Older (12.2 vs 8.7yrs)‒ Larger (BSA 1.1 vs 0.9m2)‒ Lower serum Bili (0.5 vs. 0.9mg/dl)‒ Lower BNP (59 vs 227pg/ml)‒ Lower Albumin (2.7 vs 3.8 gm/dl)‒ Lower PCW (10.5 vs 14mmHg)‒ Less PB (9.1 vs 26.1%)‒ Less intubation (3.1 vs 13.1%)

Plastic Bronchitis
Formation of occlusive airway casts
• In CHD dominantly reported in single ventricle pts after Fontan
Etiology/treatment unclear
9/4/201810
PHTS Plastic Bronchitis project
Multicenter prospective database in pediatric OHT
• Captures ~85% of peds OHT
10/35 centers had patients with PB
• 14 TOTAL patients
10 patients underwent OHT
• Early mortality was higher
• Conditional (after 30 d) and late (to 5 year) survival was equivalent
Plastic Bronchitis resolved in ALL survivors
• Same shown repeatedly for PLE

Supporting the SV to OHT
All of our outcomes are hurt by early phase mortality
• Earlier referral
‒ Better listing concepts/criteria
• Better prediction and prevention of comorbidities
Better options for reversing end organ injury through support?
Supporting the SV to OHT
VAD support for the SV
• Very limited numbers
‒ ~15-20% of Pedimacs implants for SV overall *
‒ ~5% for Fontan *
• Devices applied:
‒ Heartware (systemic); TAH; Jarvik VAD (FTN); Berlin (FTN, systemic); Heartmate; Tandem (systemic)
‒ Certainly others!
Mortality and morbidity too high– We MUST do better!
* Pedimacs unpublished communications
Conclusions
World wide OHT numbers are relatively static
• Organ availability must increase
Longer waiting times mitigated by improved medical therapies
• VAD therapies in pediatrics lag far behind adult counterparts
More congenital patients will be coming!
• Higher up front mortality, but better long term!
• Single ventricle patients are challenging, but will be the future
• We must find better support options to maximize outcomes
