Abstract
Outcomes in recipients who have undergone combined heart and kidney transplantation have mainly been addressed in small, single-center studies. We studied long-term results of combined heart and kidney transplantation in a large multicenter cohort.
Between 1984 and 2007, 67 consecutive patients (61 men and 6 women) from 3 French centers underwent combined heart and kidney transplantation. At transplantation, 38 (57%) were receiving dialysis. All patients received immediate triple immunosuppression therapy (anti-calcineurin, steroids, azathioprine, or mycophenolate).
Overall actuarial survival rates were 62.0%, 60.3%, 53.3%, and 46.5% at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years, respectively. These rates were similar to those observed in 2981 isolated heart recipients at the 3 participating centers during the same period (respectively, 71.0%, 65.2%, 60.1%, and 47.2%, p = 0.6). Survival tended to improve during the last decade (1996 to 2007) and reached 71.1%, 67.5%, and 60% at 1, 3, and 5 years. Cardiac allograft rejection requiring treatment occurred in 12 (17.9%). Coronary artery vasculopathy developed in 3 (9.3%). Kidney allograft rejection occurred in 9 (13.4%). Kidney graft survival was 95.9% at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years.
Long-term survival rates in a large cohort of combined heart and kidney recipients are similar to those of isolated heart recipients in France. The rates of acute heart and kidney rejection and angiographic coronary artery vasculopathy were low in this patient population.
