Impact of Race and Re-Transplantation

NCT00229788 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2007-06-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

For children who develop graft failure following cardiac transplantation, retransplantation is often considered. While some centers have reported equivalent results for retransplantation as compared to primary transplantation, this strategy remains controversial. We seek to examine outcomes following re-transplantation in children and identify risk factors for mortality. In addition, adult African-Americans have been reported to have lower survival following heart and other solid-organ transplantation. The relationship of recipient race to survival following pediatric heart transplantation has not previously been reported.
