Open Heart Surgery In A Patient With Liver Transplantation: A Case Report

Abstract

As the
number of patients with liver transplantation increased, surgical applications were
also frequent due to late-onset heart and other systemic pathologies
.
The incidence of coronary artery disease is increasing in patients with liver
transplantation. Liver transplanted patients are a high risk subgroup for coronary
artery disease, even if they are asymptomatic. Coronary artery disease is a
predictor of poor outcomes in patients with liver transplantation; therefore,
identification of those patients at risk for coronary artery disease should be a
key clinical priority.
In this study, it was aimed to present coronary artery
bypass grafting surgery in a 68-year-old male patient with previous liver
transplantation 12 years ago.
Coronary artery bypass grafting operation
was performed using left internal mammarian artery and autogenous vein graft for
three vessels. There was no complication in the pre- and post-operative periods.
Coronary artery bypass grafting operation can be performed safely for patients
with previous liver transplantaion in experienced centers.

Karaciğer Nakli Yapılmış Bir Hastada Açık Kalp Cerrahisi: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Karaciğer nakli olan
hasta sayısı arttıkça, geç dönemde gelişen kalp ve diğer sistem patolojileri
nedeniyle cerrahi uygulamaları da sıklaşmıştır. 
Karaciğer nakli olan hastalarda  koroner arter hastalığının görülme oranı
artmaktadır. Karaciğer transplantı hastaları, asemptomatik olsa bile, koroner
arter hastalığı için yüksek risk alt grubudur. Karaciğer transplantı gerçekleştirilen
bir hastada koroner arter hastalığı gelişmesi, kötü bir prognostik faktördür;
Bu nedenle, risk altındaki kişilerin belirlenmesi klinik önceliğe sahip
olmalıdır. Bu çalışmamızda,
 on iki yıl önce
karaciğer nakli uygulanan 68 yaşındaki bir erkek hastaya iskemik kalp hastalığı
tanısı ile kardiopulmoner bypass uygulanmasının sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
Hastaya sol internalmammarian arter ve otojenvengrefti kullanılarak üç damar
için koroner arter bypass greft cerrahisi uygulandı. Preoperatif ve
postoperatif herhangi bir komplikasyon gelişmedi.



Daha önce karaciğer
transplantasyonu yapılan hastalara, uygun merkezlerde koroner arter cerrahisi
güvenli bir şekilde yapılabilir.
