Anaesthesia for non-cardiac surgery in the post-cardiac transplant patient

J B Lyons et al. Ir J Med Sci. 1995 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

As survival and quality of life continue to improve for cardiac transplant recipients, the number of patients with functioning heart transplants who present for surgery continues to increase. The conditions for which surgery may be required, the specific problems relating to anaesthesia and the necessary measures which should be taken to ensure an uncomplicated clinical course are discussed. A clear understanding of the physiology and pharmacology of the denervated heart is essential for these patients to undergo safely anaesthesia and surgery.
