Electroconvulsive Therapy in a Patient With a Liver Transplant
Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved..
Depression is common in patients after liver transplantation and, when severe, can threaten both viability of the graft and the patient's life. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and highly effective therapy for severe depression, but there have been very few reports of its use in liver transplant recipients. We describe a patient who had undergone a successful orthotopic liver transplant 26 years previously, who developed severe major depression. The patient tolerated an index course of ECT well and responded robustly. There were no complications pertinent to the graft or otherwise. Liver transplantation is not a contraindication to ECT, and clinicians should not hesitate to proceed when necessary.
