[Transplantation of patients with cardiovascular risk].
Transplantation of patients with cardiovascular risk is becoming more frequent because of the recent changes in the characteristics of hemodialysis patients. Improvement in patient survival after transplantation has been reported in the whole cohort and is probably applicable to cardiovascular risk patients. Nevertheless, cardiovascular mortality is the leading cause of death after transplantation. Systematic screening of patients before transplantation and adapted treatment after transplantation are needed. After transplantation, immunosuppressive treatment should be tailored to the patient's profile and cardiovascular risk factors should be managed cautiously.
