Renal transplant outcome in high-cardiovascular risk recipients (original) (raw)

This study investigates the transplant outcomes of renal transplant recipients with high cardiovascular risk due to pre-existing cardiovascular disease compared to those without such risks. Data from renal transplants conducted at The Toronto General Hospital from 1998 to 2002 were analyzed, leading to the conclusion that recipients with pre-transplant cardiovascular disease might have similar outcomes to lower-risk recipients, suggesting that transplantation could be justified even for high-risk patients.
