| Factor | ventilator support(percent) |
| Description | +CHD/ +VAD recipients spent more time on the waiting list (103 days vs 71 days) and were more likely to have worse functional status (60% vs 46%) at transplant and have a clinical infection (29% vs 14%) requiring therapy within 2 weeks before transplant |

| Objective | to assess the posttransplant outcomes of pediatric patients with CHD disease who are bridged to cardiac transplantation with VADs. |
| p Value | 0.029 |
| Conclusion | Although more ill pretransplant, CHD patients BTT with a VAD have similar posttransplant survival compared with CHD patients without a VAD and with other non-CHD heart transplant patients. VAD support may mitigate certain risk factors for poor posttransplant outcomes in the challenging CHD cohort. |
