Highly sensitized patients listed for heart after liver transplantation with or without domino.

For patients with end-stage heart disease and borderline hemodynamics, high human leukocyte antigen allosensitization presents a barrier to heart transplantation in a timely manner. Conventional desensitization protocols are inadequate in this context due to time constraints and for the most highly reactive immunologically. We previously reported performing heart after liver transplant with domino liver transplant on a single patient without liver disease.
