Combined off ‐pump coronary bypass grafting without heparin and liver transplantation: A novel approach to a complex dilemma
We present the case of a 60 year old male patient with decompensated liver failure, and critical CAD, who received successful combined off ‐pump coronary bypass grafting without heparin and LT using ex vivo normothermic liver perfusion machine. This approach represents a novel strategy to offer LT to this very selective group of patients.
