Combined coronary artery bypass graft and liver/kidney transplantation in a liver failure patient with acute on chronic kidney failure and antiphospholipid syndrome

Abstract

Coexisting coronary artery disease (CAD), end-stage liver disease (ESLD), renal failure, and hypercoagulable state poses a formidable clinical challenge. Here, we discuss the first known case of a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS), ESLD complicated by hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), and severe CAD who successfully underwent combined coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and simultaneous liver/kidney (SLK) transplant.
