โœฆ Synopsis

This article briefly discusses the cardiac status of liver transplant recipients and their preoperative cardiac evaluation. It describes in detail perioperative and early and late postoperative complications as well as the cardiac problems associated with immunosuppression. The preoperative cardiovascular status of patients is important in determining how they cope with the stresses imposed by liver transplantation. Minor early cardiac events are common and may influence longer term cardiac morbidity. Immunosuppressive therapy may have short term effects but is likely to adversely affect long term cardiac risk.

Thirty-two patients with coronary artery disease who underwent liver transplantation between 1990 and 1994 were identified. Coronary artery disease was managed medically (n = 9), by angioplasty (n = 1), or surgically (n = 22) prior to liver transplantation. Two patients underwent simultaneous corona

Acute cellular rejection of the allograft is a potentially serious complication after liver transplantation, yet its true incidence is unknown. We therefore investigated the frequency of acute cellular rejection reported by transplant centers and its impact on morbidity and mortality. Morbidity was

Over a 4-yr period that began October 1, 1986, 103 orthotopic liver transplants were performed on 91 patients at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

This study measured cardiac output before and 1 or 2 yr after orthotopic liver transplantation in 23 patients. Cardiac output was measured by thermodilution before transplantation and by first-pass radionuclide angiocardiography at follow-up. Study patients were selected as those doing well clinical
