Pediatric patients referred for heart transplant (HTx) due to congenital heart disease (CHD) are considered high-risk due to their disease complexity and their specific peritransplant surgical risks. However, there has been great improvement in pediatric CHD outcomes treated with HTx- and surgical therapies, especially with the use of ventricular assist devices (VADs). This session will review the current state of HTx for pediatric CHD, addressing issues such as mortality risk factors, waitlist mortality, mechanical-support options, and immunosuppression and antibody-mediated rejection. It will also discuss key issues for this population, including psychosocial challenges, rehabilitation goals and future expectations regarding functional outcomes.
