ISHLT Journal Watch explores topics in cardiology, mechanical circulatory support, and heart transplantation this month. Issue editor Isabell A Just, MD, gathers topics from four contributors including:

• The progression of aortic insufficiency in patients with LVADs and prior Impella support via a retrospective single-center cohort study
• A multicenter registry analysis of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) as a biomarker for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR)
• Assessing the non-inferiority of low-dose apixaban versus a vitamin k antagonist in stable HeartMate 3 (HM3) recipients
• Using the MOMENTUM 3 portfolio trial and UNOS registry to compare 2-year survival and 1-year major adverse events between HM3 LVAD support and heart transplantation in patients aged 18-49
