Fig 1 Reasons for transplant ineligibility in each group. While advanced age was the most common reason for transplant ineligibility for both extended criteria–alternate list cardiac transplantation (EC-AL) and destination therapy with left ventricular assist device (DT-LVAD) groups, the DT-LVAD patients were more commonly ineligible due to obesity and pulmonary hypertension (*p < 0.05). (CRI = chronic renal insufficiency; DM = diabetes mellitus; EOD = end-organ dysfunction; HTN = hypertension.)

Fig 2 (A) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis comparing extended criteria–alternate list cardiac transplantation (EC-AL) patients (solid line) to destination therapy with left ventricular assist device (DT-LVAD) patients (dotted line) and REMATCH cohort (dashed line). Inclusion of EC-AL patients is conditional on survival to transplantation. The DT-LVAD patients significantly outperform the REMATCH cohort both in short-term (30-day and 1-year) and midterm (3-year) survival. The EC-AL patient survival is superior to that of DT-LVAD patients at 3 years. (B) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis comparing EC-AL (solid line) to DT-LVAD (dotted line) wherein EC-AL patients are accounted for at time of listing for transplantation. Survival of EC-AL and DT-LVAD patients is similar at all time points. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2010 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 3 Reasons for transplant ineligibility in each propensity-matched group: extended criteria–alternate list cardiac transplantation (EC-AL) patients (black bars) and destination therapy with left ventricular assist device (DT-LVAD) patients (gray bars). Advanced age and obesity remain the most common reasons for transplant ineligibility. (CRI = chronic renal insufficiency; DM = diabetes mellitus; EOD = end-organ dysfunction; HTN = hypertension.)
