In this episode, a study on pediatric heart transplant recipients highlights the decreasing prevalence of recurrent rejection, yet finds that children who experience multiple rejection episodes face a significantly higher risk of graft loss. Notably, racial disparities were observed, with Black children showing poorer outcomes, suggesting the need for standardized care protocols and a focus on eliminating these inequities in future heart transplant practices.
