REnal TRansplant Outcomes After CARdiac Surgery (RETROCAR)

Post-operative mortality after cardiac surgery is increased in renal transplant recipients, compared with general population of cardiac surgery, or with kidney transplant recipients not undergoing cardiac surgery. If the survival of this specific population is now well studied, the long-term renal outcome is much less studied. Previous studies show a trend for increased risk of allograft dysfunction and need for permanent dialysis. This study proposes to compare long term renal outcome between renal transplant recipients and non-renal transplant recipients.
