Abstract

Survival for children on the waiting list has improved significantly over time in Sweden and the Nordic countries, despite an increase in waiting list duration over time. Approximately 40% of hearts used for pediatric heart transplantation in Sweden come from donors in other Nordic countries. Outcomes following pediatric heart transplantation in Sweden and the Nordic countries are comparable to much larger regions and registries, despite a low number of yearly transplants in the region.
