BACKGROUND: Allosensitization has been shown to negatively affect post-heart transplant (HTx) heart transplantation; survival even with a negative crossmatch. Whether allosensitization related to mechanical circulatory ventricular assist devices; support (MCS) is associated with worse post-HTx survival remains controversial. panel reactive antibody;METHODS: Adult HTx recipients listed in the United Network for Organ Sharing database (July 2006-mechanical circulatory December 2012) were identified. Multivariate Cox regression assessed the effect of allosensitization on support; survival. Propensity matching was performed to compare patients who were and were not allosensitized. survival Kaplan-Meier survival analysis compared matched and unmatched patients in the MCS and medically managed cohorts.RESULTS: We identified 11,840 HTx recipients, of whom 4,167 had MCS. MCS was associated with allosensitization in multivariate logistic regression. Each different MCS device was associated with worse post-HTx survival in multivariate Cox regression. Allosensitization did not predict post-HTx mortality in MCS patients (hazard ratio, 1.07; 95% confidence interval, 0.89-1.28; p = 0.48. Among patients without MCS, allosensitization was associated with post-HTx mortality (hazard ratio, 1.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.39; p = 0.02). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed equivalent survival in unmatched and matched cohorts when MCS patients who were allosensitized were compared with non-allosensitized MCS patients. Among non-MCS patients, allosensitization was associated with worse survival in unmatched and matched analysis.CONCLUSIONS: MCS was associated with allosensitization. For MCS patients, allosensitization did not independently predict worse post-HTx outcome. Among non-MCS patients, allosensitization was associated with worse post-HTx survival. Allosensitization appears to be a heterogeneous process influenced by presence of MCS. (C) 2016 International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. All rights reserved.
