Combined cardiac surgery and liver transplantation: three decades of worldwide results.
BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage-liver-disease (ESLD) require orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) as treatment. However, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy can be clinically revealed during OLT, with the possible development of a transient overt congestive heart failure. A number of patients require a combined procedure of liver transplantation and heart surgery, which includes heart transplantation...
متن کاملCombined Kidney-Liver, Heart-Liver, and Kidney-Pancreas Transplantations from a Single Deceased Donor

We described a case of liver-splitting procedure for two adults, which was successful even in the presence of combined organ transplantation. Three adult combined organ transplantations from one deceased donor were performed, with, use of split liver grafts in t...

Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) is an inherited disease characterized by an abnormal systemic deposition of a mutant protein called transthyretin (TTR) with elective involvement of the peripheral nervous system, but often determining cardiac, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract dysfunction. FAP commonly affects the liver and the heart until end-organs failure. Transthyretin amyloidosi...
متن کاملCombined liver-kidney transplantation: analysis of patients with preformed lymphocytotoxic antibodies.

Optimal function of an allograft and management of these patients in the posttransplant period may require consideration of multiorgan transplantation. The concept of multiorgan transplantation has become a reali...

Surgical procedures involving heart and liver are rare and have been limited to either combined heart and liver transplantation or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) or aortic valve surgery and orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Aortic valve replacement (AVR) and pulmonary valve vegetectomy for bacterial endocarditis after OLT have also been reported. There are only five cases wit...
