In this study, the authors evaluated survival after heart transplantation in adults with single and biventricular congenital heart disease against those receiving a transplant without congenital heart disease. It is a retrospective analysis over a fifteen-year period. The study found that among CHD transplant recipients, single-ventricle diseases correlated with higher short-term mortality.
