Cardiac surgery in patients with functional renal transplants
Abstract:
The results of cardiac surgery in 7 patients with functioning renal transplants are reported. In all cases surgery was carried out using standard operative techniques whilst renal perfusion was enhanced where necessary by the use of a dopamine infusion. The immediate postoperative course was uneventful in all cases, though 2 out of 4 patients with ischemic heart disease have since experienced recurrent symptoms. Cardiac surgery may be performed in patients with functioning renal transplants with acceptable mortality and morbidity.
