Abstract

We describe the care of a transgender woman with heart failure who underwent heart-kidney transplantation. Perioperative management of hormone therapy, considerations for future gender-affirming surgeries, and psychosocial aspects of care are discussed. Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential in the treatment of patients with advanced heart failure in the setting of gender-affirming therapies. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
