Allosensitization during mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is a well-described phenomenon, although its mechanism remains unknown. Although immune-mediated interactions from devices or blood transfusions have been proposed, the role of inflammation in this development is less clear. This study was undertaken to further investigate the temporal association of cytokines and B-cell phenotypes in the MCS population.
