Simultaneous liver transplant and sleeve gastrectomy not associated with worse index admission outcomes compared to liver transplant alone - a retrospective cohort study.

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) at the time of liver transplant (LT) has been argued to decrease resource utilization. However, larger studies examining outcomes are lacking. We aim to determine the outcomes of simultaneous SG and LT compared to LT alone.

Intra-operative predictors of postoperative Takotsubo syndrome in liver transplant recipients-An exploratory case-control study.

Introduction: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, has been described following a variety of surgeries and disease states. The relationship between intra-operative anesthesia management and the development of this syndrome has never been fully elucidated.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to determine the relationship of multiple intra-operative factors on the pathogenesis of TTS.
