TI  - [Aortic valve replacement in a renal transplant recipient].
PG  - 377-80
AB  - A 65-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for surgical treatment of 
      congestive heart failure with aortic regurgitation. He had received renal 
      transplantation 15 years before in the United States, and had been under 
      immunosuppressive regimen with ciclosporin and mycophenolate mofetil. Although 
      the renal allograft function had been gradually deteriorating, and preoperative 
      serum creatinine level was 1.8 mg/dl, and it decreased to 1.5 mg/dl after aortic 
      valve replacement. Cryopreserved aortic allograft was needed for the aortic valve 
      replacement. The reasons are; the patient may need hemodialysis (HD) or 
      retransplantation of the kidney in the future, and the immunosuppressive therapy 
      for kidney will provide good immunologic environment for second allograft, 
      i.e.--aortic valve. He tolerated the operation well and the immunosuppressive 
      agents were continued in the perioperative period. He is now in New York Heart 
      Association (NYHA) class I.
