Renal outcome after simultaneous heart and kidney transplantation

Abstract: Je tiens à remercier le Professeur Méjean de me faire l'honneur de présider mon jury de thèse. De nombreux externes passent dans votre service et ont le goût de l'Urologie en partant, je vous remercie donc pour votre rôle important dans mon choix de spécialité. Vous avez su créer un esprit de service dans lequel nous sommes inclus dès le début de notre formation. J'ai beaucoup appris au cours des 6 mois passés dans votre service. Merci donc de m'avoir accepté comme chef de clinique, afin de continuer à gagner … Show more

“…In 2015, the HT group of our Transplant Unit reported on our experience with three cases of combined simultaneous kidney transplant and heart re-transplant, showing the feasibility and safety of this procedure [5]. Nonetheless, in that series as well as in other previous reports on HKT [2,3], several ischemia-related complications of the kidney grafts were noted, comprising delayed graft function (DGF), long-term dysfunction, graft rejection, and ureteral ischemia. Following that preliminary experience and thanks to technology advances, we have consequently implemented our surgical management of HKT with the use of an hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) for the kidney graft, switching from a simultaneous HKT to a staged procedure.…”

“…Even the development of hyperdynamic states and the massive use of inotropic drugs have been shown to have a detrimental effect on kidney graft [2]. Under this perspective, the management of combined heart-kidney transplant (HKT) recipients must face significant complexities [2,3] which are reflected by an increased risk of kidney graft loss compared to KT alone (hazard ratio 1.43 [4]). Moreover, kidney graft loss has been identified as a negative prognostic factor for HKT recipient survival [3].…”

“…Notably, post‐transplant renal outcomes are heavily dependent on peri‐transplant and early post‐transplant events, which are very difficult to predict from pre‐transplant data. In a recent registry analysis of SHK outcomes, 29 for instance, only peri‐ and early postoperative events, rather than preoperative characteristics, predicted final outcomes, and early mortality was 22%. In other words, whether pre‐HTx kidney failure reverses or persists post‐HTx is largely dependent on peri‐operative events, and the addition of a kidney as “insurance” against post‐HTx kidney failure is largely futile in cases of peri‐ and early postoperative complications.…”

“…The reality of the current donor organ scarcity and the generally modest medical justification for SHK mirror the field of SLK. There is no perfect allocation schema, as much of what dictates a patient's post‐HTx outcome is unknown at the time the transplant strategy is determined 29 . Any schema seeking to eliminate kidney failure in HTx recipients will be accompanied by unnecessary kidney transplants and high primary kidney non‐function rates, and any schema seeking to eliminate “unnecessary” kidney transplants will result in more HTx recipients living with kidney failure (Figure 2).…”
