ABSTRACT
Introduction: The potential heart transplant patients are, in
many cases, carriers of moderate or severe renal failure that
worsens during a heart transplant; this event might ruin the
beneficial results generally obtained with heart transplantation.
Objective: To communicate that heart and kidney transplants
are being performed in the Medical Unit of High Specialty
(UMAE), General Hospital “Dr. Gaudencio González
Garza” National Medical Center (NMC), “La Raza”.
Case report: A twenty-four-year-old male patient with
chronic Idiopathic renal failure (CRF) with an evolution of
5 years, treated with peritoneal dialysis began a study protocol
for renal transplantation during which heart failure
secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy was diagnosed by
catheterization and transthoracic echocardiography (ECCOT).
Therefore, it was decided to perform a heart transplant
and a subsequent same donor renal transplant.
Discussion: The refractory heart failure has been long regarded
as a contraindication for kidney transplantation and
vice versa. Advances in organ preservation, anesthetic and
surgical techniques, immunosuppressive treatment and
postoperative care have facilitated transplants for patients
needing a second organ.
Conclusión: This is a case report from a 24 year old man
with Chronic Renal Failure and dilated cardiomyopathy
who underwent a heart transplant and 18 hours later Renal
Transplantation with immunosuppressive therapy;
the procedures were performed in the UMAE, Hospital
General CMN “La Raza” in May 2011, both grafts were properly
functioning and no episodes of acute rejection have
been reported; the patient’s life quality greatly improved.
The solid organ transplantation is the current treatment
modality of choice for most patients with terminal heart
disease and kidney.
