The clinical outcome of heart transplantation in these patients has not been reported. Here, we sought to evaluate the clinical outcome of heart transplantation in patients with end-stage heart failure and ascites. Methods: Data were collected by retrospective chart review. Results: Between 1989 and 2005, 45 patients with end-stage heart failure and moderate to severe ascites underwent orthotopic heart transplantation. There were 33 men and 12 women with median age of 44 years (range 10-63 years). The causes of heart failure were congenital heart disease in 4 patients (9%), dilated cardiomyopathy in 21 patients (47%), rheumatic heart disease in 7 patients (16%), coronary artery disease in 10 patients (22%), and restrictive cardiomyopathy and transplant coronary artery disease each in 1 patient. Twenty of 45 patients (44%) had previous cardiac operation. There were 10 in-hospital deaths (22%): bleeding in 4 patients, sepsis with multiple organ failure in 5 patients and non-diagnostic graft failure in 1 patient. Profuse postoperative bleeding requiring reoperation occurred in 14 patients (31%). The independent risk factors for hospital death were low serum albumin (odds ratio, 0.05; 95% confidence interval, 0.003-0.591; p=0.018) and reoperation for bleeding (odds ratio, 30.11; 95% confidence interval, 2.38-380.26; p=0.009). 3 Conclusions: Heart transplantation in patients with end-stage heart failure and ascites was associated with high hospital mortality and morbidity. The co-existence of cardiac ascites and hypoalbuminemia implied poor prognosis. |
