Has Anyone had a liver transplant aborted due to…….

Has Anyone had a liver transplant aborted due to…….low blood pressure and hemodynamic instability or decompensation with anesthesia? Also left ventricle pumping very hard during anesthesia and right ventricle pumping pretty slow during anesthesia. Wondering if this could be caused by my portal vein hypertension - does anyone know if this can be remedied and if a person can still have a liver transplant? Passed the initial cardiac work up; prior to the attempted transplant and had another cardio work up after cancelled transplant; pre-existing conditions are stable, aortic valve will eventually need to be replaced (mild calcification) but angiogram showed arteries are open no Coronary Artery Disease same as prior to transplant attempt, but waiting to hear next steps. Any information appreciated

@cocobean0520, I can't begin to imagine how shocking it must've been to have the transplant stopped due to the unexpected discovery of heart issues. It sounds like this happened on the operating table as you were being put under anesthesia.

Have you learned what the next steps or options will be for you?
