Success: the synergy of off-pump coronary artery bypass and living donor liver transplantation—a two-case report
Simultaneous OPCAB and LDLT is a feasible and safe approach in carefully selected ESLD patients with CAD when performed by experienced multidisciplinary teams. Avoiding PCI mitigates bleeding risks associated with dual antiplatelet therapy, while OPCAB circumvents the deleterious effects of cardiopulmonary bypass. This strategy may shorten transplant wait times and optimize both cardiac and hepatic outcomes in high-risk populations.
