[An original case of simultaneous cardiac, pancreatic and renal transplantation. Results over 6 years].
Combined transplantation is actually performed on specific and rare indications. We are presenting here the results of a combined heart-kidney and pancreatic graft. It was performed in a patient presenting an idiopathic cardiomyopathy in end-stage failure and a post-diabetic nephropathy on dialysis. Today, organs function is quite satisfactory with a 6 year follow-up. Only one isolated heart rejection episode was observed at the 15th post-operative day. The patient has recovered a full-time professional activity at one year. This successful graft was obtained by an "homogeneous multiorgan approach" during all the pre-peri and postoperative time.
