Intraoperative Troponin Elevation in Liver Transplantation Is Independently Associated With Mortality: A Prospective Observational Study
Almudena L. Vilchez‐Monge, Ignacio Garutti, Concepción Jimeno, Matilde Zaballos, Consuelo Jimenez, Luis Olmedilla, Patricia Piñeiro, Patricia Duque, Magdalena Salcedo, Jose M. Asencio, Jose A Lopez‐Baena, Przemyslaw Maruszewski, Rafael Bañares, Jose M. Perez‐Peña – 16 January 2020 – Intraoperative factors implicated in postoperative mortality after liver transplantation (LT) are poorly understood. Because LT is a particularly demanding procedure, we hypothesized that intraoperative myocardial injury may be frequent and independently associated with early postoperative outcomes.
