The Liver–Heart Connection: Why Some Patients Need a Heart and Liver Transplant

Join us as we explore the complex relationship between liver and heart disease and why some patients require a combined transplant. This patient-focused program explains the conditions that lead to dual-organ transplantation, what to expect during the waitlist period, how organ preservation works, and the most common early complications, including rejection and recovery. We also discuss when a single-organ transplant may be enough and when both organs must be replaced for the best outcome. Speaker: Nahel Elias, MD, FACS Surgical Director, Renal Transplantation, Massachusetts General Hospital Medical Director for Quality, Division of Transplant Surgery, Mass General Brigham Assistant Professor of Surgery, Harvard Medical School Moderator: Morgan Harrington, MPH, CHES American Liver Foundation
