摘要
We hereby review liver transplantation for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and report the case of a 14-year-old girl presenting with severe bilateral coronary ostial stenosis and tight supra-valvular aortic narrowing 10 years after liver transplantation. Despite normalization of the lipids after liver transplantation, the patient showed evidence of severe cardiac atherosclerosis 10 years later and died of apparent sepsis.
