Objective To analyze the clinical outcomes of cardiac surgery in patients after kidney transplantation underwent immunosuppression therapy. Methods  Clinical data of 6 patients (including 4 males and 2 females aged from 27 to 66 years) undergoing cardiac surgery after kidney transplantation with immunosuppression between January 2011 and October 2013 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Two patients underwent off pump coronary artery bypass grafting, 3 patients underwent aortic valve replacement and 1 patient underwent mitral valve replacement. The interval between kidney transplantation and cardiac operation was 8.5±1.7 years (range, 6-10 years). Results All the operations were performed successfully without in-hospital death and complications. Operation time was 237.0±93.0 min. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time was 101.3±16.7 min. Aortic cross-clamping time was 75.6±9.7 min. in-hospital stay was 17±6 d. There was a statistical difference in preoperative and postoperative left ventricle ejection fraction (63.5%±4.5% vs. 56.5%±5.8%, P < 0.05), as well as preoperative and postoperative left ventricular enddiastolic diameter (54.5±8.5 mm vs. 43.7±6.8 mm, P < 0.05), but there was no statistical difference in preoperative and postoperative serum creatinine levels (103.7±15.1μmol/L vs. 106.6±34.7μmol/L, P > 0.05). The mean follow-up time of the 6 patients was 4-15 months. The follow-up rate was 100%. All the patients were in cardiac function NYHA classⅠ-Ⅱ. And the quality of life was improved. Conclusion Cardiac operations for kidney transplant recipients undergoing immunosuppressive treatment are effective and safe as long as appropriate perioperative treatment are taken.
