Monitoring of allograft vasculopathy by intravascular ultrasound one month and one year after heart transplantation: A single center study

TL;DRAbstract

Our trial showed that CAV progresses during the first year after HTx significantly more frequently in patients with DTA and MIT ≥ 0.5 mm. It is essential in these patients to implement an IVUS control examination one year after transplantation. The results can lead to a change in treatment strategy to prevent further progress of the disease.
