Overview
Organ-specific transplant may need to be done, depending on the organ involved. However, surgery is not commonly done in patients with amyloidosis, since it is usually a systemic disease that requires treatment of the underlying cause.
Surgery
- Patients with symptomatic localized laryngeal amyloidosis and large supraglottic masses require surgical management.[1]
- Cardiac transplant may need to be done for patients with cardiac amyloidosis.[2]
- Organ-specific transplant may need to be done, depending on the organ involved.
