“…In 2013, more than 190, 000 people were living with a functioning kidney transplant and this number has continued to rise 2,8 . Over the past decade, medical advancements have contributed to a significant improvement in the short‐ and intermediate‐term outcomes of kidney transplants with patient and graft survival rates over 90% 3 …”

There is a high rate of Emergency Department (ED) utilization in kidney recipients post-transplant; ED visits are associated with readmission rates and lower survival rates. However, utilization within and outside transplant centers may lead to different outcomes. The objective was to analyze ED utilization patterns at transplant and non-transplant centers as well as common etiologies of ED visits and correlation with hospitalization, graft, and patient outcomes. This was a longitudinal, retrospective, single-center cohort study in kidney transplant recipients evaluating ED utilization. Comparator groups were determined by ED location, time from transplant, and disposition/readmission from ED visit. 1,106 kidney recipients were included in the study. ED utilization dropped at the transplant center after the 1st year (P < .001), while remaining at a similar rate at non-transplant centers (0.22 vs 1.06 VPPY). Infection and allograft complications were the most common causes of ED visits. In multivariable Cox modeling, an ED visit due to allograft complication at a non-transplant center >1 year post-transplant was associated with higher risk for graft loss and death (aHR 2.93 and aHR 1.75, P < .0001). The results of this study demonstrate an increased risk of graft loss among patients who utilize non-transplant center emergency departments. Improved communication and coordination between transplant centers and non-transplant centers may contribute to better long-term outcomes.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in abdominal solid organ transplant recipients and a cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. However, the outcomes of catheter ablation (CA) in transplant recipients with AF remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the outcomes of CA in renal and hepatic transplant recipients. Methods and Results: Between 2015 and 2019, 14 transplant recipients (nine with kidney transplantation and five with liver transplantation) were enrolled from among 10,741 AF patients and underwent CA at Anzhen Hospital. Another 56 patients matched by age, sex, and AF type were selected as the control group (four controls for each transplant recipient). During a mean follow-up of 30.0 ± 13.3 months after the initial procedure, 10 (71.4%) of the transplant patients, compared to 41 (73.2%) of the control patients, remained free from AF recurrence (p = 1.000). A repeated procedure was performed in one transplant patient and in six control subjects. Consequently, 11 (78.6%) of the transplant patients, compared to 46 (82.1%) of controls, were in sinus rhythm after the repeated ablation (p = .715). Notably, Kaplan-Meier analysis did not demonstrate any significant differences in the atrial arrhythmia-free rate after the initial and repeated procedure between the two groups. Vascular complications were identified in one transplant patient and two control subjects, while no life-threatening complications were observed in either group. There was no transient allograft dysfunction in transplant recipients after CA. Conclusion: CA is safe and effective in abdominal solid transplant recipients, and maybe an optimal therapeutic strategy for this group.
