BACKGROUND: Scedosporiasis is an emerging mycosis that has gained importance in recent years due to its worldwide prevalence. It is caused by species of the Scedosporium apiospermum complex. These species can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients and, occasionally, in immunocompetent patients as well. The high intrinsic antifungal resistance make these infections difficult to manage. AIMS: The objective of this study was to interpret the mycological findings in a transplant patient, together with the images obtained in the radiological studies, in order to provide an early and effective antifungal therapy...

INTRODUCTION: Heart-lung transplantation has shown a progressive decrease in the number of procedures. There is a lack of information about this field in Spain. The main goal of this study is to analyze the experience of a national reference hospital. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of a historical cohort of heart-lung transplanted patients in a single center, during a 30 years period (from 1990 to 2021). The associations between variables were evaluated using the χ2 test or Fisher's exact test...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Posttransplant outcomes among recipients with a diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) remain controversial. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of a nationwide registry of first-time recipients undergoing isolated heart transplant between 1984 and 2021. One-year and 5-year mortality in recipients with HCM and RCM were compared with those with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). RESULTS: We included 3703 patients (3112 DCM; 331 HCM; 260 RCM) with a median follow-up of 5...

Heart transplant (HT) remains the best therapeutic option for patients with advanced heart failure (HF). The allocation criteria aim to guarantee equitable access to HT and prioritize patients with a worse clinical status. To review the HT allocation criteria, the Spanish Society of Cardiology and the National Transplant Organization organized a consensus conference involving adult and pediatric cardiologists, adult and pediatric cardiac surgeons, transplant coordinators from all over Spain, and physicians and nurses from the National Transplant Organization...

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is associated with cardiac abnormalities and rarely heart transplantation may be the treatment of choice. In this case, a male patient with Emery- Dreifuss muscular dystrophy developed NYHA class IV heart failure at 33 years of age and was submitted to heart transplantation. Anesthesia was adapted to prevent the development of malignant hyperthermia and rhabdomyolysis. The surgery was a success and the patient's progress was extremely positive with symptomatic improvement. In these patients, is critical to adjust not only his positioning but also the therapy administered in order to reduce iatrogeny and promote a faster recovery...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Repetitive ambulatory doses of levosimendan are an option as a bridge to heart transplantation (HT), but evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of this treatment is scarce. The objective of the LEVO-T Registry is to describe the profile of patients on the HT list receiving levosimendan, prescription patterns, and clinical outcomes compared with patients not on levosimendan. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all patients listed for elective HT from 2015 to 2020 from 14 centers in Spain...

On July 21, 1988, a successful heart transplant was carried out for the first time in Mexico; 34 years later, several hospitals in the country have performed this procedure. We present information and comments on the results obtained within this period at Mexican Social Security Institute La Raza National Medical Center "Dr. Gaudencio González Garza" General Hospital, where 234 transplants have been performed (one out of every three carried out throughout the country), with a short- and mid-term survival comparable to that reported in the rest of the world...

INTRODUCTION: Despite the benefits of mobilisation in the critical patient, the evidence in patients with Levitronix® CentriMag as a bridge to heart transplantation (HT) is scarce. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of mobility on these patients. METHODS: Retrospective observational study of patients who received a HT with Levitronix® CentriMag admitted between 2010 and 2019 to a tertiary hospital. Degree of mobility and nutritional status were assessed at the time of HT...

Hemochromatosis is a disease characterized by excess iron stores in multiple organs, including the liver, pancreas, skin, and heart. The infiltration of the heart is an important factor in morbidity and mortality. Here we describe the case of a pediatric patient with end-stage heart failure who required a heart transplantation, with no complications. After the surgery, she showed biochemical and clinical improvement, with a positive impact on her quality of life and a prolonged survival.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) has a high mortality rate and often requires advanced therapies such as mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and heart transplantation (HT). Those patients who presented an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with CS and required support through MCS as bridge to HT were retrospectively analyzed in a single Center. Between January 1997 and June 2020, 524 patients received HT, 203 for ischemic-cardiomyopathy, 103 were in emergency waiting list. Eleven patients met the inclusion criteria (mean age 53 ± 11 years old; men 73%)...
