Abstract
The study of endomyocardial biopsy specimens taken in the first 130 days after transplantation has yielded no histologic features predictive of later development of transplant-related coronary artery disease. This study, however, indicated that a combination of the following factors might be predictive in cyclosporine-treated patients: untreated histologically proven episodes of rejection, infection with cytomegalovirus or reactivation of infection, ischemic heart disease in the recipient as the reason for heart transplantation, and possibly HLA-B5 or -B8 mismatch.Entities:
