Abstract
Our expectant management for cholelithiasis after heart transplant resulted in no mortality or significant morbidity related to delay in treatment. Symptomatic cholelithiasis was successfully treated with cholecystectomy, mostly with the laparoscopic approach. We believe expectant management is safe for patients after heart transplant.
