The presence of severe coronary artery disease and tricuspid regurgitation at the time of listing for transplant are associated with survival failure while on the LT waitlist across etiologies of liver disease. Diagnostic assessment of coronary and valvular disease should be considered in all patients undergoing evaluation for LT, such as cardiac catheterization and/or stress echocardiogram.
