UNOS collects and reports data on every U.S. organ donor, transplant candidate, recipient and outcome. The data is used to study and advance transplant, inform policy development and help professionals make informed decisions.
In 2022, 14.0% of heart transplants were combined with transplant of other organs compared with 5.7% in 2011. Multiorgan transplant has increased more rapidly than heart transplant alone. From 2011 to 2022, heart-kidney transplants increased 442.3%, from 71 to 385.
Survival rates after heart transplantation vary based on a number of factors. Survival rates continue to improve despite an increase in older and higher risk heart transplant recipients. Worldwide, the overall survival rate is about 90% after one year and about 80% after five years for adults.
Some 2021 heart transplant data highlights: 513 were pediatric heart transplants, up from 413 in 2020. 206 donors were DCD donors, nearly double the amount in 2020. 159 more transplants were performed in 2021 than 2020. 2021 is also the tenth consecutive year where heart transplant numbers have set a new record.
The Annual Data Report, developed by SRTR and the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), includes chapters on kidney, pancreas, liver, intestine, heart, and lung transplantation; a chapter on deceased organ donation; and chapters on varying special topics (eg, COVID-19, vascularized composite allograft).
A total of 81 heart transplants were performed at Mayo Clinic in Florida in 2023. More than 600 heart transplants and 11 heart-lung transplants have been completed since the program began in 2001. Mayo surgeons have performed combined transplants, such as heart-kidney and heart-lung-liver transplants.
The typical heart transplant recipient in 2019 was a man (71.6%), white (62.3%), 50-64 years old (47.3%), had private insurance (48.6%), resided in a metropolitan area (85.3%), had cardiomyopathy (62.5%) and blood type A (40.4%), and was status 2 at transplant (47.2%) (Table HR 8, Table HR 9).
The 11 th straight year of increases in heart transplants coincides with advancements in organ perfusion technology and DCD recovery practices. In 2022, 42,888 organ transplants were performed in the United States, an increase of 3.7 percent over 2021 and a new annual overall record.*.
Results. During wave 1, rates of heart registrations and transplants were 28% (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 0.72 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.67-0.77]) and 13% (IRR: 0.87 [95% CI, 0.80-0.93]) lower than expected; lung registrations and transplants were 40% (IRR: 0.60 [95% CI, 0.54-0.66]) and 28% (IRR: 0.72 [95% CI, 0.66-0.79]) lower.
Now, a study in the Journal of the American Heart Association found patients with hearts that came from donors who passed away from a drug overdose or who had hepatitis C had improved survival rates at 30 days and one year compared to patients who had a similar transplant a decade before.
