title: Simultaneous cardiac and renal transplantation late after hepatic transplantation.
abstract: Multiple organ transplantation is rarely performed because the combination in a single patient of the clinical conditions with that indication is uncommon. Besides, the scarcity of organ donors dictates a policy of maximisation of the results. We present the case of a patient who previously had a liver transplantation and was subsequently submitted to a successful simultaneous cardiac and renal transplantation.
