Abstract
Aim. Evaluation of the possibility heart valve replacement in renal transplant recipients from a position of safe- ty for graft function. Materials and methods. 5 patients, heart valve replacement was performed with a func- tioning kidney transplant at a satisfactory its function. The average age of patients at the time of cardiac surgery was 38,8 ± 12,6 years, among whom were two (40%) men and 3 (60%) women. The interval between renal transplantation and heart surgery was 40,3 ± 44,1 (2 to 120) months. Prior to kidney transplantation, all patients were on renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis program for 50,2 ± 48,6 months. In 4 of the 5 patients of heart disease was the cause of infective endocarditis. Results. Average time IR was 81,2 ± 21,7 minutes , the average time of aortic clamping 63,6 ± 20,9 minutes and hypothermia during CPB 29,2 ± 3,2 °C. All patients were implanted with double-leaf mechanical prostheses "MedEng-2" and "SarboMedics". All 5 patients in sa- tisfactory condition were discharged from the hospital. The average duration of the postoperative period was 14,2 ± 3,4 days. All patients had relatively smooth fl ow after surgery, no infectious complications, a satisfactory renal transplant function and prosthetic heart valves. In the late period in four patients and transplant graft func- tion is satisfactory in terms of the observation of 5 years, 3 years and 6 months after surgery. Conclusion. Our experience shows the possibility of successful correction of heart defects in IR in renal transplant recipients.
