Tóm tắt

As the population of patients with Fontan palliation grows, so does the number of patients with Fontan failure, necessitating heart transplantation. However, due to mainly small-sized studies, outcomes after heart transplantation in these patients remain unclear. The objective of this study was to review the available literature and conduct a meta-analysis to provide well-powered and generalizable estimates of outcomes after heart transplantation in patients with a failing Fontan. PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE databases were searched for original studies of patients with a failing Fontan who underwent heart transplantation. The outcomes included were 1-year and 5-year survival, acute rejection, renal dysfunction, sepsis, and multi-organ failure. Proportions were pooled using random effects models to derive pooled proportions (PPs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Meta-regression analysis was done to study the effects of age and gender on key outcomes. Sixteen retrospective single-center cohort studies with 426 Fontan patients undergoing heart transplantation were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled analysis of this study further revealed that 1-year survival after heart transplantation was 79.9% ([75.8%, 83.7%]; I2 = 1.92%), and 5-year survival rate was 72.5% ([62.1%, 81.9%]; I2 = 72.12%). Secondary outcomes after heart transplantation of failed Fontan procedure were acute rejection (PP 20% [7.4%, 36.8%]; I2 = 72.48%), renal dysfunction (PP 31.3% [10.5%, 57.2%]; I2 = 75.42%), multi-organ failure (PP 18.6% [2.8 to 43.9%]; I2= 69.60%), and sepsis (PP 21.1% [9%, 36.8%]; I2 = 61.19%). Cardiac transplantation in patients with a failing Fontan is associated with acceptable interventional success and improved survival rates.
