Abstract

Cardiac surgery and liver transplantation (LT) are rarely performed at the same time, because of the potential risks of coupling two such complex surgical procedures [1-3]. This combined surgery is typically reserved for patients with structural heart disease, including multivessel obstructive coronary artery disease and severe valvular disease with heart failure and end-stage liver disease, in whom the untreated organ may decompensate if only one organ is addressed [4]. Combined aortic valve replacement (AVR) and LT is the rarest of such combined surgery, with only ten cases published previously. We present the first reported case of combined minimally invasive AVR and LT and review the literature on similar combined surgery.
