Abstract

Transplant patients are the challenging subgroup of patients due to the increased morbidity associated with their immunosuppressive state. The number of transplant patients who undergo open heart surgery continues to increase as the knowledge gained in the treatment of these patients increases. We present a renal transplant patient who underwent open heart surgery where we share our experience in the management and the treatment of these patients.
